Our vision is Gospel Saturation: that every person in our region would have a regular encounter with the good news of Jesus Christ in both word and deed.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be exploring the relational priorities and practices Jesus gives for his church in Matt 5.21-48. We believe that Jesus knows best – he's the wisest teacher to have ever lived – and doing relationships as he describes them will always lead to flourishing for us and others. We believe that Jesus modeled all of these relational priorities and practices, showing us in his life how we ought to live. And we believe that Jesus has given us – in his life, death, resurrection, and gift of his Spirit – all the resources we need to live this kind of life together.

Romans is the Apostle Paul's fullest and clearest treatise on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout history, this letter has opened eyes, awakened hearts, and set movements in motion. It's both profoundly theological and deeply personal, revealing the truth about God, humanity, and salvation. John Stott rightly called Romans a manifesto of freedom in Christ - a freedom that remakes our lives, forms us into God's people, and sends us as witnesses of Jesus in the world.

2026 is going to be a significant year for the Soma family and our disciple-making, church-planting mission. On February 1st, we'll transition to 2 Sunday Gatherings. By early Spring, we'll launch 3-5 new Communities. Gospel Basics will move to Wednesday evenings, creating a mid-week opportunity for equipping. Over the course of the year, we'll start new Communities in Cheney in anticipation of growing a new Soma congregation. And by the end of the year, Lord willing, we'll have moved into our own permanent facilities. All of this - and so much more - is a gift of God's grace, a unique moment for us to steward, and an opportunity to double-down on our core convictions of Gospel, Community, and Mission. To that end, we're studying Jesus' Spirit-empowered ministry in Luke 4, and inviting you to a month of prayerful dependence, sacrificial service, and joyful generosity. More info here.

Advent - the weeks leading up to Christmas - is all about slowing down, pushing back on the frantic nature of the season, and freeing ourselves from its consumerism and consumption. On Sundays and in community, we'll create space to explore the deeper longings of our hearts, which for many are stirred at Christmas. To help us, we'll look at 3 Messianic Psalms, ancient songs of God's people longing for the world to be made right. Each Psalm will help us see that the incarnation - Jesus' arrival in flesh and blood - is not a sentimental story but the climactic answer to ancient expectations and modern longings.

God's standard is absolute perfection, and knowing His law only increases our accountability - religious rituals and outward actions can't save us because God looks at the heart, which we're powerless to change on our own. The good news is that Jesus perfectly kept the law on our behalf, His righteousness has been credited to us, and the Holy Spirit is actively transforming our hearts from the inside out.

Through a study of the book of Acts, we're asking the Spirit to conform us to the patterns and practices of the early church — a people who love the lost like Jesus, give of themselves in rhythms of blessing and hospitality, and who seek to engage in curious, spiritual, and gospel conversations. We want the Spirit to do an Acts 3-4 kind of work this week, fulfilling Jesus' promise in Acts 1.8: You will receive power, and you will be my witnesses. This week, the Spirit, through Paul, finishes what was started by taking the gospel to the ends of the known world. The anticlimactic ending to Acts encourages us to participate with the Spirit in His missionary endeavors.

God is sovereign and also involved as trials come. We get to continue to participate, knowing He is the faithful one and working.

If this is true, what will God do, who will he speak to, who will he have compassion on, and how will he call you to prioritize your energy, time, and money so that, by the power of his Holy Spirit through you, his mission would be accomplished?

This Spring, we are tracing the movements of the Biblical Story, seeking to be formed by God and His Word. From the creative glories of Genesis 1-2 to the final restoration of all things in Revelation 21-22, the Bible tells the story of the faithfulness of God as he works to rescue a world in rebellion to his sovereign love. At each stage of the Story, he is fashioning a people for himself, a people who can receive his love, carry his presence, and be his means of restoring the world to its former glory. All of this culminates in Jesus, of course, who is the True Hero of the Story, and who invites sinners and sufferers to join his world-restoring mission, until he returns to make all things new. This week, we come to the Consummation of All Things, the great End of the Story: The Restoration of All Things: A New Place, a New People, and the Ever-New Presence of God!
