Heaven comes to earth through Jesus.
If all that stuff we say we believe as Christians is true —that Jesus is King and he brought his Kingdom of Heaven with him to this earth— then we ought to expect that wherever the good news of that kingdom goes, that the places where it lands and takes root in our city, over time, will begin to look a whole lot more like heaven on earth and less like hell.
#morelikeheaven is a quarterly service initiative born out of our conviction that Jesus is King and his Kingdom of Heaven has come. We believe that Waxahachie will be changed as that good news continues to spread throughout our city and once Jesus’ people begin to live their lives like they actually believe that it’s true. Eventually, places that are broken and people who are suffering will find relief and restoration as they come into contact with the living Jesus working through his people.
We believe that our city ought to look different because Soma Waxahachie exists. And that's what our #morelikeheaven initiative is all about.
Serving our neighbors as God in Christ has served us.
Current Project
101 South College — August 2021
This month we are raising money to resettle two Afgan families in our area who narrowly escaped Kabul and the Taliban.
Past projects
101 South College – September 2019
With your help Soma Waxahachie and 101 South College were able to raise a total of $1500 dollars for a family struggling to get back on their feet after receiving a second cancer diagnosis. On behalf of the family, thank you!
101 South College — July 2019
Together with the help of money raised through 101 South College, Soma was able to provide financial assistance to a single mother who had fallen two month behind on her rent due to a significant and prolonged illness. Because you helped we were able to gift her $2500 and she is no longer facing the threat of losing her home.
101 South College
The church is not a building we are a people chosen by God and set apart for his purposes in the world. And yet, our church does have a building where we gather for worship and equipping. But our building isn’t just a place where we gather either. It’s a tool that we intend to use to help resource the financial needs of our #morelikeheaven initiative.
Dermiyah
Jesus hasn't just called his church to go and announce the good news of the forgiveness of sin and the arrival of his kingdom to people who are far from God. He's also called us to go into the broken places in our city and live our lives like we actually believe all that stuff he said about redemption and his Kingdom of Heaven are true.
The Garden of Eat'n
When we moved into our office there was an empty patio sitting adjacent to us. We asked our landlord if it would be okay with him if we made use of it. He told us that it's been sitting there bare and naked for the past 20 years and he'd love to see someone make use of it. So we did.
Daniel’s Den
We organized a work day to assist Daniel's Den in their ongoing work of helping solve the problem of homelessness in Ellis County. Daniel's Den is the only functioning shelter providing for the needs of the the displaced in our county. We are grateful that they’re here, helping make the lives of our homeless look a little bit more like heaven.
