How it all started...
REVIVE Church launched on Easter Sunday in 2019. Here is our story.
In 1979, Springfield Road General Baptist Church was built and served the community as a thriving and healthy church for many years. Through a series of events over a few decades, not only had they diminished in size, but by 2010 the congregation also found themselves without a minister . In 2014, Pastor Robert (who grew up at SRGBC) offered to come and minister once per month as they were in search of their new pastor. What everyone expected to be 4-6 months turned into 4 years. In December of 2018, the congregation realized they could no longer move forward as they had for the previous 8 years (without a pastor). In January 2019, Robert presented a proposal to the congregation to consider a new name, him as Senior Pastor, and to transition to Assemblies of God. On January 20, 2019 the congregation voted and accepted the proposal.
Starting with 8 people, REVIVE Church was born.

Where we are headed...
The Lord has us in his hand. Every project we've been able to do has been paid for so we have remained debt free from day one.
We will continue to do our best to be good stewards of this beautiful property that we've been entrusted with.
In the future, we want to resurface the parking lot, remodel the sanctuary, install an elevator, and more!
