Experience something special:

“Revival Nights” at SOJO Church.

I want to personally invite you to something special—something that I believe will set the tone for 2025. On January 1st at 6:30 PM, we are launching what we’re calling “Revival Nights” at SOJO Church.

This will not just be another event on the calendar; it is our collective decision to go all in—chasing after the power and presence of God in a fresh, expectant way. We are believing that 2025 will be a year marked by what we’re calling a double portion: “grace upon grace.” John 1:16 says, “From His fullness, we have all received grace upon grace.” That’s what we’re praying for—for you, for your family, for our church, and for our community.

There are multiple ways for you to be a part of what God is doing in 2025.

Take Time To Reflect on 2024

Take some time to really reflect on 2024. Use this sheet we are providing both front and back. The two biggest things I want you to accomplish is; 1. My dream in 2025 & My Word for 2025. You will bring this with you to Revival Nights and we will offer it to the Lord!

Come to Revival Nights

Jan 1st, Jan 9th, Jan 16th, & Jan 23rd each night from 6:30 to 8:00 (Each of these services are being led in worship and preaching by some of the best around our city and state). Each week builds on a theme of Restore, Renew, Revive, & Commission.
