An equipping environment where missional community moves from theory to experience.
We put people in an environment to experience missional community life, to taste and see, rather than just talk theoretically about it. Every participant stays in the home of a missional community leader and sees their lives. They’re immersed in a gospel rich environment and participate in everyday mission.
Soma School equips leaders, church planters, and staff to engage in missional community life, to lead missional communities, and to lead a church of missional communities.

Soma Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia
With Toby & Annie Dedden, Rohan & Anita Miles, Dave Miles and Hope Foskett.
Soma Immerse is a 3.5-week immersive experience for young adults (school leavers and above) designed to give them a taste of living in an intentional gospel-centred missional community. Participants will receive theological and methodological training in the gospel and how the gospel is lived-out.
The experience is about total immersion in the gospel, including classroom training, life on life discipleship, and missional life in new everyday rhythms. This training is experienced in the context of living with Soma families and practicing leadership while serving the Blue Mountains with a missional heart.
