SOZO CHURCH

Jesus-centered, Spirit-empowered family on mission in Central, Texas


Welcome, we've been expecting you.

At Sozo, we’re building a people who know God, walk in their Kingdom Calling and transform the world everywhere they go. 

Salt + Light Building Initiative

 The Salt & Light Initiative is more than a building project—it’s a vision to establish a permanent home for Sozo Church in San Marcos and lay the groundwork for a future church in Kyle/Buda as we continue to see the Kingdom of Heaven advance in our lives, region and to the ends of the earth.

In January, we signed a contract to purchase the District Headquarters of the Pentecostal Church of God at 3107 RR12, along with the house next door. After closing April 1, 2025 this facility will be transformed into a thriving church home, featuring an auditorium for 500+, dedicated children’s spaces, offices and equipping rooms.

Beyond a place to gather and worship we envision a community hub, including a coffee shop, which will serve as a place for fostering connection and growth. But our heart is not for seating capacity—it’s for sending capacity. This is not just a place to gather, but a launchpad to equip and send people out for Kingdom impact.

The Pentecostal District has agreed to sell us the building on 3.5 acres, an additional 2 acres, and the house on 1.5 acres for $3.55 million. The terms are incredibly favorable:

  • 10% down at 3% interest over 30 years
  • Minimal increase to our current facility costs (compared to our rising office lease and SMA rental)
  • A permanent home that locks in our facility costs for the future

To close the deal and renovate the building, we need approximately $3.15 million (final remodel costs are still being determined).

  • We need to raise $1.9 million by Oct 1, 2025 to cover all downpayment and construction cost for phase 1 & 2.
  • As of July 23, 2025 we have received $1,522.205.87
  • We only need $377,794.13 to complete phases 1 & 2 and occupy the buildng.
  • Additionally, we aim to raise $200,000 for the launch of Sozo-Kyle in 2026, $800,000 for the phase 3 of the building which includes staff offices, balcony seating and a multip-purpose room for youth, college and equipping, and $250,000 for the build out of Citizen Coffee House and Community Space.
