You Belong—We Are Soma
He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.
Ephesians 4:16
Leadership in the New Testament was based on teams of coworkers rather than exalted individuals. These teams were made up of men and women and they valued various giftings.
Leadership in the New Testament was based on service rather than lording over others. The New Testament shied away from title and privilege, and focused instead on role and mutual honoring.
Soma believes that leadership should be team-based, include men and women, value various giftings, and look to serve the church rather than gaining status or privilege.
Therefore, we are inviting leadership teams in existing Soma churches, church plants, and adoption cohorts to be strengthened and equipped in community at the 2025 Soma Retreat. Our hope is to bring content that will benefit local church staff, MC leaders, deacons, worship teams, and financial personnel.
