We investigate threshold resummation of soft gluon corrections for the s-channel process of a single top quark production in association with a Higgs boson in the Standard Model. We choose to work in the three-particle invariant mass kinematics in direct QCD, i.e. in the space of Mellin moments. Our results take into account terms of up to next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) precision, as well as 
non-logarithmic terms which do not vanish at threshold. After presenting analytical expressions, we discuss the corresponding numerical results for the total cross section and the invariant mass distribution at the LHC.
