We Are Soma
All-in Party
October 1, 2023 • Steve Hart • Colossians 1:1–23, Colossians 2:6–7
In September our Soma family turns 19, and as we do most years we’ll spend the month revisiting the core priorities and key practices that have shaped us into who we are. Our mission statement names our core priorities: Forming whole-hearted disciples of Jesus, in life-shaping relationship, for everyday disciple-making. We use 4 simple practices — Gather, Go, Grow, Give — to help make the mission actionable by every member of the body, calling us out of alternative narratives and allegiances, to give ourselves unreservedly to Jesus, His Way, and His mission. Our desire is that you’d name 1-2 key habits for each category, and then we will commit ourselves to them for the coming year, linking arms to stay on mission together. This week we remember our story, commit our lives, and celebrate!
