Vision Statement

Soma’s purpose is to help others Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference. We believe that God wants to have a personal relationship with you and desires for you to live in uncommon unity with other believers based on the love of Jesus. We believe that God has an amazing purpose for your life where you can use the gifts that He has given you to make an eternal impact on the world.

Our Values

Jesus is our message. Love is our command. People are our passion. Serving is our privilege. Generosity is our joy. Purpose is our pursuit.

Soma Kids

Learn. Engage. Grow.

Every Sunday at Soma we offer a full kids program for little ones from 6 weeks old through 5th grade. We love seeing the light switch on as children learn, engage and grow.

IN need of prayer?

Our first response, not our last resort

Please allow us to join with you in prayer. SOMA Church believes in the power of prayer. Whatever you are going through, we want to pray with you. Our Pastoral Team prays over every prayer request we receive, and truly desires to see your faith and relationship grow to new heights as you turn to Him for all your needs. We look forward to hearing from you.

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances!”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
