Our History

In March 2012, a small group of families, college students, and young adults began meeting in a living room on the north side of Indianapolis. From day one, the vision has been to “see the gospel of Jesus change everything” – us, our neighborhoods, Indianapolis, and, ultimately, the entire world.

In September 2016, Soma planted a second neighborhood church in downtown Indianapolis. One year later in September 2017, Soma Northwest began gathering publicly at College Park Elementary School.

God has generously poured out His grace as we’ve seen lives changed, needs met, and people stirred to be a renewing presence in the city. We pray that you’ll consider joining our movement of disciples, families, and missionaries who live for the glory of God and the good of our city.

Our Name

The New Testament is filled with rich metaphors describing the countercultural community of people who have been transformed by grace. One of the most frequent designations for this community is the Greek word “soma”, which simply means “body.”

Soma Northwest Church seeks to embody the person of Jesus Christ in both word and deed.

Our Network

Although we are an independent, autonomous church, we partner with the Harbor Network for resources, coaching, accountability, and mission.
