The Soma Conference is an annual event, prayerfully designed to ignite passion and propel the purpose of every believer as they walk in their unique gifts and calling.

More than a conference, it’s a launchpad to deepen one’s walk with the Lord, to discover one’s role in building the Kingdom, and to receive practical tools for ministry and everyday life.



We look forward to seeing you at Soma 2027!

Commission to Function
1:35 pm - 2:00 pm

The Saturday workshop experience is designed around three workshop blocks, allowing every participant to personalize their conference journey while reinforcing the core priorities of the church.

Rather than organizing workshops by ministry department, each session represents a critical area of Kingdom formation and function. Participants will attend three workshops, choosing the areas that best align with their current season of growth.

To reinforce the church's emphasis on shepherding and healing, Kingdom Care, Kingdom Lament, and Kingdom Couples will be offered a second time during the afternoon workshop block.

Leading Like Jesus

Bishop Dr. Edward Jones

These sessions equip believers to influence others through Christlike character, servant leadership, and spiritual maturity.

Outcome: Participants will develop practical leadership principles that strengthen their influence at home, in ministry, and in the marketplace.

Making Disciples
Who Make Disciples

Pastor Kelvin Easter

These sessions focus on cultivating a lifestyle of intentional disciple-making and leadership multiplication.

Outcome: Participants will leave with a practical disciple-making strategy for developing others and advancing God's Kingdom.

Building Christ-Centered Marriages

Rev. Drs. Joel and Naomi Mitchell

Healthy churches are built upon healthy homes. These sessions strengthen marriages through biblical wisdom, intentional communication, and shared Kingdom purpose.

Outcome: Couples will gain practical tools to cultivate healthier relationships and pursue God's mission together.

Caring for People Like Jesus

Chaplain Joyce Smith

Kingdom Care equips ordinary believers to become extraordinary caregivers through the ministry of presence, compassion, and encouragement.

Outcome: Participants will gain confidence in providing compassionate, Christ-centered care during life's most significant moments.

Praying the Purposes of God

Intercessor Yvonne Perkins

These sessions develop believers who understand the power of strategic, Spirit-led prayer.

Outcome: Participants will grow in confidence as intercessors who partner with God's purposes through intentional prayer.

Finding Hope in
Seasons of Grief

Rev. Dr. Damien Davis

Kingdom Lament teaches believers how Scripture gives language to suffering while anchoring hearts in the hope of Christ.

Outcome: Participants will discover practical and biblical ways to process suffering while helping others experience God's healing presence.
