The Soma Church team planned for over two years before actually moving to Denver. In total, they anticipate a team of 27 people who have either moved to Denver already or plan to move here over the next few months. This team is coming from Raleigh, NC where they were trained and coached by Summit Church.

 

Bryan Barley and Andy Metzger are leading this new church plant in the Five Points/ East Side neighborhoods of Denver. Barley is the lead pastor and Metzger is serving as the associate pastor. Being sponsored by Ken Caryl Church in Littleton, the Soma team has had the help of Colorado Baptists in Denver as they prayerfully considered where to plant their lives. They have worked hard over the past two years, training for this planting journey. This included building strategic relationships with local and domestic churches, as well as developing a resource base and prayer network.

"The Church is not merely to exist in this world; God has work for it to do. The Church is to glorify God, to evangelize the world and to edify believers. These are its primary tasks."

"When Jesus came into the world there existed no such thing as the Church." As Christ established the church it was unlike anything that had gone on before. It is not the reorganization of the synagogue. It is not another children of Israel wandering around in the wilderness. It is Christ, alive in the world through those He has chosen. We the Church are those called out of the world to be indwelt by the Living, Powerful Holy Spirit of God. We are the Body of Christ empowered by His eternal Holy Spirit. As Christ walked on the earth so we are designed and empowered to walk on the earth.
