Soma is often called missional, gospel-centered, an Acts 29 church or a church-planting movement and while that's all true, we usually just say we're all about Jesus. Because of who Jesus is and what he did (the gospel), Soma Communities is a family on Jesus' mission of making disciples, sent by God to serve our world, continually learning how to walk in his ways—that's our gospel identity, and it's worked out by God's grace in the everyday rhythms of life in communities spread throughout the Western US.
