Who We Are
At Revive we believe that as the Scriptures state, people are dead in their sins apart from God. And it is only through the finished work of Jesus that people can be brought back to life. This is what drives us to do everything we do. We envision our city being truly alive and seeing broken lives being restored. The Scripture clearly states in 1 John 5:12 “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
Our Vision:
Bringing that which is dead back to life, Seeing our city alive in Jesus Name

BELIEFS
Salvation
We believe that mankind receives salvation only through true repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The outcome of this faith makes the repentant to be reborn of the Lord spiritually, to be adopted into the family of God, to receive God’s righteousness freely, and be the inheritor of eternal life. (Titus 2:11; Titus 3:5-7; 1 Peter 1:23; 1 John 5:1; John 1:12-13; John 3:5-8).
Jesus
We believe that Jesus Christ is God the Son; that He was and is the Son of God; that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit from the Virgin Mary and was born in flesh; that He is absolute man and Absolute God. We believe that Jesus Christ lived without sin; that He served in miracles; that He was sacrificed on the cross for the sins of all humanity; that he died and three days later resurrected in flesh; that He ascended in glory; and that He is seated at the right-hand side of His Father and interceding on our behalf. (Mat 1:23; Luke 24:39; Acts 1:9; Acts 2:22; Acts 10:38; Romans 8:34; 1 Cor 15:4; 2 Cor 5:21; Eph 4:8-10; Heb 7: 25-26; Heb 9:12; 1 Pet 2:22; Isaiah 7:14).
Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is God; that the Holy Spirit comes forth from God the Father and God the Son; that Holy Spirit still exists on earth and works; that the Holy Spirit does this by convicting all human beings of their sins; by giving life; by edifying; by leading all believers to the truth and to the fullness of Christ. (John 14:26; John 16:8-11; Romans 8:14; 1 Pet 1:2).
God
The One God revealed Himself for eternity in three Persons; and in this revelation we believe that for eternity it will be called God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Mat 28:19-20; 2 Cor 13:14; Mat 3: 13-17). We believe that God the Father is Omnipotent; Omniscient; Eternal and the Creator of everything (those that can be seen and those that cannot be seen). (Genesis 1:1-2, 7; 1Cor 8:6; 2 Cor 6:18; 1 Tim 1:17)
Bible
We believe that the Holy Bible is the complete word of God; that righteous people wrote it having been driven by the Holy Spirit; that the Holy Bible is composed of only the sixty six books of the Old Testament and the New Testament. We believe that the Holy Bible cannot be cancelled; that it cannot be changed; that it contains no mistake; that it contains the supreme will of God; that it holds supreme authority in all believers’ faith and practice. (Mat 24:35; John 4:39; 2 Tim 3: 16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
The Church
We believe the Church is the habitation of God’s Spirit; in order to fulfill the great Gospel mission, she is the body that received the divine calling from Jesus Christ; she is Jesus Christ’s bride; she is the gathering of the saints who have been born again of the Spirit and whose names have been written in the book of life; we believe that the church is the gathering of the saints that have been redeemed by the Holy Blood of Jesus Christ out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (Eph 1:22-23; Eph 2:22; Heb 12:23; Eph 4:1-6; Rev 5: 9-10; Rev 22:17).
