Salt + Light
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
What We Need to Make It Happen
To close the deal and renovate the building, we need approximately $3.15 million (final remodel costs are still being determined). We have determined to do the renovations debt free and will proceed as the funds are made available.
- We already have nearly $1,075,000 in our building fund.
- We also have over $225,000 pledged to the building fund.
- We need to raise $1,650,000 pledged now and given by August 1st for construction costs.
- Our goal is to be in the building by October.
- Additionally, we aim to raise $200,000 pledged by January 1, 2026 and given by December 31, 2026, to fund the launch of Sozo Kyle-Buda early in 2026.
