Soma

We’re a family of churches. We make disciples, strengthen one another, and plant churches of Missional Communities towards Gospel Saturation…until every man, woman, and child has a daily encounter with Jesus in word and deed.

We do this in part by equipping everyday disciples, leaders, and pastors for gospel saturation, through online and in-person events, and by facilitating collaborative and regionalized residences across North America and beyond. One residency helps church leaders discern the right fit for their residents on a planting team; the other helps church leaders understand and implement proven church-planting competencies.
