Soma Gathering Finds A New Home In Beaver Falls

This is a big weekend for the congregation of a local church that has found a new home. The Soma Gathering will hold its first services Sunday in a building that will now be known as The Well, which is more than just a church. Marc De Jeu is pastor of the Soma Gathering. He tells Beaver County Radio newsman Pat Septak that he wants the new building to also be a place where people can just drop by and take advantage of resources available to them. The Well is located in the same building as the former First Christian Church at 1401 6th Avenue in Beaver Falls, right behind the WBVP-WMBA studios. The church is making the big move from the previous worship site located in the basement of the Berkshire Banquet Hall on 8th Avenue in Beaver Falls (which used to be the original Beaver Falls Masonic Temple building). The Soma Gathering is a plant church from First Presbyterian Church in Beaver. It is affiliated with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. The Soma Gathering started in 2010 in the Beaver County YMCA on Junction Stretch in New Brighton. Around 120 people currently worship at Soma on a regular basis. Beginning Wednesday, April 20th, the new building, which was given to Soma by the previous congregation, will be used as a community center with free wi fi and food.
