// Revive Church // Compelling Culture

Our Culture

  • To make disciples of Jesus

    This is the biblical foundation behind why Revive exists—the Great Commission. 

  • Awakening Hope. One Life at a Time.

    We believe that God is awakening hope, one life at a time. 

    The vision is what we believe God wants to see happen through Revive: as hope awakens in individual lives, it transforms families, friendships, and communities. Growth Track material explicitly connects the Revive story and vision to lives being “restored, renewed, and brought to life in Christ.”

  • Encounter Jesus. Find Belonging. Discover Purpose.

    We create a life-giving, authentic community where people can encounter Jesus, find belonging, and discover their God-given purpose.

    This is what Revive does every day to move toward the vision. 

    Simple language for communicating the church:

    Encounter —> Belong —> Purpose

Our Values

  • Jesus is at the centre of everything we do.

  • We create environments where people can experience, hope, healing, freedom, and new life.

  • We believe life change happens in relationships.

  • We believe everyone was created by God, on purpose for a purpose. 

Our Beliefs

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. The Holy Spirit inspired the writers of the Old and New Testaments pointing to Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.

  • We believe that there is One God, eternally revealed to the world in the Father, the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. By Him were all things created.

  • We believe that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to redeem all of mankind. Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life on this earth, performed many undeniable miracles, was crucified for our sins, buried and was raised from the dead for our justification. By the name of Jesus Christ, and His name only, can mankind be saved. Jesus Christ sits at the Right Hand of the Father and will return personally in power and glory to receive His Church unto Himself.

  • We believe that mankind is sinful by nature and will perish without the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as revealed in His Gospel. That God wishes that no one should perish, but that all would come to this saving knowledge through the preaching of the Gospel to a lost and hopeless world.

  • We believe that matrimony is a holy monogamous marriage between one man and one woman. This means that man and woman are two distinct genders willed by God their Creator in their respective beings, which reflect the image and nature of God.

  • We believe in the multi-faceted work of the Holy Spirit to bring conviction of sin, revelation of the truth of the Gospel of Christ, drawing of the sinner to God, adoption of mankind into the Body of Christ through regeneration, and the distribution and administration of the Gifts and Fruit of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life. Jesus Christ is the “baptizer with the Holy Spirit” for the empowerment of the Church through the Baptism with the Holy Spirit.

  • We believe in the local church as a place where believers gather together for edification, teaching from the Word of God, and ministry to and through each other according to their spiritual gift. The local church provides identity to its members as well as encouragement, interdependence, fellowship, correction, and discipline.

Revive Church is being planted in partnership with ARC Canada, a network dedicated to launching and supporting life-giving churches across the nation and the world. We’re grateful to be coached and supported by the Association of Related Churches and their vision to see communities transformed by the message of Jesus.
