| Soma: A Church of the Christ |
Soma really began as a vision and dream back in 2003 while Dwayne &
Julie lived in Abilene, Texas. They had both grown up in the Northwest,
but while in seminary at ACU, they began to experience a growing trend
among college students and young adults as the "next generation" simply
felt like the church was absent of spiritual meaning. People were
interested in Jesus, but didn't trust church.
In September of 2004, they moved to Salem, Oregon to be part of one of the first two Kairos church plants – Cascade Hills: A Church of Christ
– in preparation for leading a church plant in coming years. In early
2007, they felt God calling them to lead a church plant that would
reach an emerging generation of people who were actively seeking
spiritual meaning in their lives. They began a process of clarifying
that calling, and in December of 2007 Cascade Hills sent them and
another couple to begin a new community of Christ-Followers in the
Edgewater Community of West Salem. In cooperation with the Southwest Church of Christ, Soma began meeting and gathering as a launch team in early February of 2008. |
