About Us

The District Convention of the Texas District of the Pentecostal Church of God was conducted in Houston, Texas in 1943. A resolution was passed making two districts from the state of Texas. East Texas District is the territory designated as follows:

“The East Texas District shall consist of that portion of the State of Texas east of a line as follows: Highway 77 south from the state line of Oklahoma to the intersection of 377, thence South to 820 Loop; it shall follow this route east and south to Highway 80 where said Highway 80 joins the line of the Southwest Texas District of the Pentecostal Church of God, Inc. East Texas District shall also consist of all that portion of the state of Texas lying east of a line beginning at the Gulf of Mexico and along the southwest Victoria County line, the intersection of said county line with State Highway 77, thence north along Highway 77 to Waco, Texas; north on Interstate Highway 35 to Hillsboro, Texas; north on Interstate 35 to Ft. Worth, Texas; thence follows Loop 820 until it intersects 377 east; north to Highway 80 at a point which divides West, North and East Texas Districts.”

The newly formed East Texas District of the Pentecostal Church of God of America was comprised of thirty-three (33) churches. It chartered with the State of Texas on March 9, 1954, and today, there are currently more than 50 churches that are a part of the East Texas District.

In 1970, the district offices were relocated from the campus of Southern Bible College in Houston to the current location in Corsicana.
