Being the Church , the need of the Church

Why does Soma Exist? We want to see every man, woman and child have a life-changing encounter with Jesus through sharing and showing the Good News of Jesus in all of life.


What has God called us to do? First, we make disciples that make disciples.


What does that look like for us?

  • Reorient towards Formation

  • Reorient towards Invitation

  • Reorient towards Mission

  • Build our structure


Importance of Formation

It is being with Jesus, cultivating life with Jesus.

Hunger, Thirst, desire for God

The expectation that God would work.

Reminder: We are being formed and shaped into something. For believers, that ought to be the new creation, not in the worship of the created


Our Hungers and thirsts desires to be like Jesus…. I want more of you.

Invitation - We start every gathering with a call to worship reminding ourselves that God is the initiator he is chasing and pursing us.


INVITING us into a new life.

Come - Follow Me and invitation into a new life,

change who you are and what you do


Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden - I will give rest

My yoke is easy and my burden is light


Inviting people into appropriate places. MC, DNA, GATHERING around our table.

Reorient towards Mission

We are sent ones, Care for each other well, and loved those near to us and in need.

Everyday LIFE - All work all of life is the arena that God is at work in


Outward focus// Jesus did get alone, but he also came to seek and save the lost. There is a purpose to the life we have, not merely earning more money or surviving


It is to make disciples of all nations - share the love of God that you are experiencing with the world around you.

Build our structure - Not a time for holding on or maintaining

But a time to prepare for What God might do

Importance of Trellis work in our life so that the vine might more easily abide and so that it may be fruitful.


Same goes for us..
