The Mission of Soul City Church is to lead people into a transforming relationship with Jesus. We also know that not everyone in our community is at the same place in their journey. No matter where you are, life is full of questions, and while we can’t answer them all, we want to do our best to help.
The Transformation Path exists to empower and equip the Soul City Church community to take their unique next step and grow deeper in their transformational relationship with Jesus.
Whether you are exploring faith, looking to build a firm foundation or looking to be formed in the way of Christ, we believe that a life in Jesus is a series of next steps. This is why we created the Transformation Path so that you can take your unique next step.
Exploration
alpha
Looking for a safe space to explore God and ask questions? Alpha is the place for you.
At Alpha, people attend from all backgrounds, religions, and viewpoints. Participants come to investigate questions about the existence of God, the purpose of life, the afterlife, the claims of Jesus. Some people want to get beyond religion and find a relationship with God that really changes life. Others come for the close, long-lasting friendships that are built during the Alpha course. Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith or simply aren’t able to articulate why they believe what they believe. Everyone is welcome.
The next session of Alpha at Soul City will begin on Tuesday, September 21 and continue to meet weekly for 10 weeks. Participants may choose to register to participate in person or online. Click below to register to join us!

Breaking down the bible with jon jorgenson
Tuesday Nights April 6 – May 11, 2021 | 7:00 – 8:30pm on Zoom
The Bible is central to the Christian faith. It can be an incredible source of wisdom and a transformational tool in our lives. And YET, for many of us, the Bible is also intimidating, confusing, boring, or even offensive in parts. But many of our issues with the Bible actually come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible really is, how it is meant to be read, and the role it is meant to play in our lives. In this course, we will break down the parts of the Bible in order to help us better understand the whole story that leads to transformation.
Formation
The marriage course
Sunday Nights May 2 – June 13, 2021 | 7:30 – 9:00pm on Zoom
The Marriage Course was developed in 1996 by Nicky and Sila Lee (authors of The Marriage Book) for couples looking for practical support to strengthen their relationship. The course equips couples with tools and techniques to keep the spark alive and stay connected. There is no group work and each couple’s conversations are completely private.
Over seven sessions, the course will help you to:
Understand each other’s needs
Communicate more effectively
Grow closer by learning methods to resolve conflict
Recover from the ways you may have hurt each other
Recognize how your upbringing affects your relationship
Improve relationships with parents and in-laws
Develop greater sexual intimacy
Discover each other’s “love language” and much, much more….
Be the bridge
Tuesday Nights May 4 – June 1, 2021 | 6:30 – 7:30pm on Zoom
As a church, we are responding to the racial brokenness and systemic injustice in our world.
With racial tensions as high within the church and outside the church, as Christians, we want to be the leaders in conversation on racial reconciliation. Join us for a 5-week Be the Bridge book club + deep dive into this power-packed guide to help people deepen their understanding of historical factors and present realities, equipping them to participate in the ongoing dialogue and to serve as catalysts for righteousness, justice, healing, transformation, and reconciliation.
We will have Latasha Morrison’s book, “Be The Bridge” available for pickup at Soul City. Registrants will receive pick up instructions via email the week prior to the start of the course.
