Hey! Welcome to our story. We’re Coy and Brooklyn, and we have the joy of serving as pastors here at Somos Church.
Somos held its first service in 2016. One year later, we began renting the building that would become our home, and in 2021, we were able to purchase it. Over the years, much has changed, but one thing has remained constant: we are the Church.
“Somos” is the Spanish word for we are, and it speaks to our core identity. We are a church for Lakeland and a church for you. We exist to help uncover and support the God-given value in every person’s story. Most of all, we exist to help you say yes to the redemptive work God desires to do in your life.
Wherever your journey has taken you, we are grateful to walk with you from here.

As our story has unfolded, we’ve discovered a few values that continue to fuel and ground us—guiding how we live, lead, and love as a church. These aren’t just ideas; they’re ways of being that shape how we move forward together.
Innovation
Making a way when there seems to be none
Compassion
Helping others by connecting to who they are and what they need
Story

What We Believe
At the heart of our story is a deep belief in the power of yours.
We believe God is at work in your life—shaping, healing, and inviting you into something greater. As a church, we exist to bear witness to the beauty, the challenge, and the desire within your story. We’re here to support you as you keep saying “yes” to the redemptive work God wants to do in and through you.
We believe the Church exists for people and for the community it’s rooted in. And we’re honored to be that kind of church—for Lakeland, and for you.
