We are delighted to announce that we have officially reached AND SURPASSED our 250K goal for the Living Generously Capital Campaign!!
We are simply overwhelmed at the generosity of our community! It’s a testament to God’s incredible provision and your belief in Soma’s vision! Because of your commitment, we were able to install much needed air conditioning in key areas of our building, restore the gymnasium which is now essential to our children/youth programming, and are now able to move forward with our third and final impact project - installing a new glass covering system for our beautiful stained glass windows!
Through your generosity, time, and God's faithfulness we now have a building to call home. A place to gather, to host, and invite others in.
While our building is functional, our ability to host and serve our community through our building is limited. A/C in key areas is essential to being a hospitable place for community. Renovating our gym will provide a central hub for ministries such as Young Life, Moms Connect, Good News Club and community-focused outreach. Replacing our stained glass window coverings will not only make our building more energy efficient but also serve as a visual reminder of our presence and commitment to our neighbors, a sign that Soma Downtown is alive and active in ministry on the Near Eastside!
WHERE WE’VE BEEN
Phase One
$50K IN 50 DAYS
In the summer of 2021, through the generosity of so many in our body, we exceeded our initial Phase One goal of raising $50K in 50 Days before closing on the building. We give all the glory to the Lord for raising over $100k in only 36 days!
Phase Two
HANDS + FEET
As of November 5, 2021, 445 N State officially belonged to Soma Downtown! The countless hours of work our church family put into the building allowed us to celebrate Sunday #1 on Palm Sunday, 2022!
Thank you so much to everyone that put in hours upon hours of work to make this building liveable for our church family. We are also thankful for those that stayed home to watch children to allow for their spouses to come out and volunteer their time. You have all blown us away by being the Hands + Feet of Jesus to our church. With your help, we were able to save a significant amount in renovation expenses.
