History

The St. Paul Cultural Center Turkey Foundation rests upon its own lesson-rich foundation. Although SPCCTF was founded in 2010, its founders established Turkish residency in 1990, establishing ministries, entities, companies, and associations in the ensuing two decades.

SPCCTF initially served as the supplier for and facilitator of these ministries, etc., in Antalya. There was no legal link, but that changed in 2022. As the culmination of a four-year process, SPCCTF became the legal owner of the two Turkish companies that own SPCC and Mozaik. All donations, however, go only to the non-profit associations based at these facilities.

Mozaik Sport and Cultural Center was established in early 2023. As with the SPCC, Mozaik provides meeting and office space for multiple churches. It also hosts other community-transformative ministries, as well as an array of commercial activities that help to support the facility and further enrich the community. Along with the other longstanding entities, Mozaik accords well with our original motto: For the good of Antalya and the glory of God.

While historically SPCCTF has been engaged only in Antalya, today the broadened vision entails the Mediterranean arc: the area of St. Paul’s first-century activity has become ours in the twenty-first century. This is surely a high-flying vision, but we have an almighty, on-the-ground God who has never ceased working in this region. We confidently partner with him.
