Our Core Beliefs
We hold fast to a Biblical world-view and outlook on life, based on the belief that the Bible is God’s perfect and reliable revelation designed to instruct and guide all people.
Our core beliefs relate to the existence, origins, character and purpose of God; the origins and purposes of people; the need for and means to eternal salvation; the responsibility and content of moral and spiritual truth; and the existence, powers and role of various spiritual beings. These are expressed, in part, through our statement of faith.
Responsibility: Living to Serve
We are all given gifts for the benefit of the body. Everyone wants to be on a winning team and ministry teams create opportunities for believers to play a practical role in the body as well as use their gifts to edify and build up His body so that it is healthy, growing and full of love.
Leadership: Training, Equipping and Releasing
Leadership development gives the church legs… we must never stop training, equipping and encouraging leaders.
Every leader is a minister of Jesus. Every leader is a pastor with congregants.
Leadership development takes place on a regular basis.
Connect Groups: Relationships
We are a church ‘of’ connect groups, not ‘with’ connect groups. These connect groups are key to the success of the church as we encourage growth outside the established walls of a particular building. It serves to break current mind-sets and establishes every believer as a minister of the Lord, breaking the ‘traditional’ walls between ‘clergy’ and ‘laity’. These operate at various times throughout the city. Connect groups are PRIORITISED, get connected!
Hospitality: Love Demonstrated
Without love we achieve nothing! (1 Corinthians 13) At Revival we seek to operate in and through the love of God in our personal capacity, in the home and in the church. (Romans 12:9 – 13)
This love defines who we are, our words, actions and attitudes which, in turn, makes others feel ‘cared for’ and ‘at home’. we are called to be hospitable.
Our prayer is that through our love, you are drawn to and experience this wonderful love for yourself.
