Kids

Kids at Soma Sunday gatherings have their own time of learning about who God is and celebrating Jesus. Our kids ministry engages children with the gospel through stories, song, craft and play. For children aged 2-6.

We also have toys in the main gathering space for those children who would like to remain with their parents.
