Soma Communities
posted in Worship |Last Sunday Caesar an elder at Soma communities in Tacoma Washington spoke on the different ways Christ has called us to celebrate. Caesar also questioned Kaleo on how we celebrate Christ today, in our lives.
To find out more about Soma I decided to go online and see what they’re about. I was pleasantly surprised to read that Soma Communities are radically working in their city to change lives. Some may say it’s radical and that may be true, but if it’s bringing truth to a people who don’t know Jesus in an honest and loving way, then I’m all for it. Here is a quote about their missional communities:
Missional Communities
. . .and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart…” (Acts 2:46)We believe that we don’t just go to church but that we are the church. Practically, this means that whether we meet at a coffee shop, bar, home, or in a large building we are to be God’s Church wherever we go. Come and enjoy dinner and stories with some of our families.
I just think it’s awesome that there are churches out in this world that want to reach the community in a way that welcomes people in rather than keeping them at a distance. Some Christians would rather call the lost and misguided “those people” rather than “my brother”. From what I’ve read and heard, Soma is a “my brother” church. One that welcomes people into their home and joins the community rather than building walls to keep “those people” out. It really is a beautiful thing.
