Fast-growing Dallas church pushing ahead on $30M new building
The former movie theater property will house thousands of congregants.

One of Dallas' fastest-growing churches has taken a huge step toward its $30 million new home. Social Dallas earlier this summer began interior demolition of an existing building in northwest Dallas to make way for the new facility. And now, they appear to have a date for the next step.
“This isn’t just about tearing something down. It’s about making room for what God is building right here in our city,” Pastor Robert Madu Jr. wrote earlier this week in an Instagram post about the demo. Church officials could not immediately be reached for comment Friday. “The area God has called us to has carried many stories over the years. Some marked by hardship. Some marked by pain. But we believe God is writing a new story, and hope is on the way!”
According to the Texas Department of Licensing Registration, the construction step is expected to begin in late November 2026, with work lasting until February 2028. The work will include renovation of 111,840 square feet of exterior facade, and installation of a 2,300-seat auditorium, classrooms, auxiliary theaters, lobby, cafe and “support space,” according to TDLR.
The property at 10110 E. Technology Blvd. previously operated as a movie theater across multiple brands—AMC and Studio Movie Grill, among others.
If full regularly, the auditorium will accommodate enough worshipers to give Social Dallas “megachurch” status, according to megachurch characteristics put forth by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research.
However, it appears the church still has work to do before it can begin construction. The church’s website shows it’s raised just over $3.8 million toward the $6 million fundraising goal.
“We are so grateful for every person who has prayed, served, given, and believed alongside us. Because of your faithfulness, we’re one step closer to seeing this vision become a reality,” Pastor Robert Madu said in a Tuesday video updating on video progress. “We still have ground to cover, but we’re confident that God is able to do immeasurably more than we could ask, think, or imagine."Since its founding as "Social Girls” in 2018, expansion to “Social Night” in 2019 and its official launch as a church in April 2021, Social Dallas has met as a mobile church without a permanent building, worshiping in The Hall on Dragon, Fair Park Embaracadero, the Winspear Opera House and others.
“We’re not just building a building. We’re changing a city,” the Instagram post concluded. “God loves Dallas.”
Consolidated Theatres in Mililani Next to Receive Reclining Seats
When the Mililani theaters close for renovations on Aug. 13, families will find discounts on tickets and snacks at Kapolei 16.

The 14-plex will remain closed through September and October for renovations.
Mililani families will need to drive a little farther to see films this fall. Monday, Aug. 13, Consolidated Theatres is closing the town’s 14-plex for renovations and upgrades.
The theaters will all be switched over to the reclining seats similar to those at Ward, ‘Olino at Ka Makana Ali‘i and Pearlridge Center. Like the other locations, the concession stand will also be expanded to offer more than popcorn, hot dogs and nachos. When the movie theaters reopen some time before the holiday season, ticket prices will likely go up to match the prices at the luxury theaters. But it comes with the benefit of individual tables for kid snacks. The extra legroom in theaters with reclining seats also makes those mid-movie bathroom runs less harrowing (and makes it easier to pull that smuggled kaki mochi out of your bag to shake on your movie popcorn, not that we’ve ever done that).
For the final weekend before renovations begin, from Friday, Aug. 10 through Sunday, Aug. 12, Consolidated will donate some of the money made from concession stand sales to Mililani High School’s marching band. And everyone will receive a voucher for a free small popcorn to the next two closest Consolidated locations at Pearlridge (which has recliners) and Kapolei (non-reclining).
The traditional seats in all 14 theaters at the Town Center of Mililani will be changed to reclining.
To sweeten the deal at Kapolei, Consolidated will also offer $8.50 movie tickets for all ages, all day, and endless popcorn for $6. Sundays will also come with $2 hot dogs and $10 for the ‘Ohana Snack Pack with endless popcorn, two medium drinks and a candy.
As an added plus, Kapolei 16 will also have a family day on Sunday, Aug. 19 where kids can get their faces painted, glitter tattoos and balloons from noon to 6 p.m. Here’s a parent tip: Bring a recyclable bag to tuck the balloons in, so they stay grounded instead of popping up into the sight line of little movie goers once the show begins.
