At its heart re:vive
is a church.

At its heart our church is about people.


In 2005, after several years of praying together, a group of ten Christian friends decided to start a church.


The purpose of starting a new church revolved around the idea of creating a faith community without some of the traditional barriers that many existing churches have developed, that effectively keep people at arms length from God.


So, it was decided that re:vive would adopt a

‘two-invite’ strategy:


Invite one – you are invited to be part of a vibrant social community.


Invite two – you are invited to get to know more about God and to enter into a life-transforming relationship with him.


The bottom-line with this strategy is that the choice is yours. If you choose to be part of the social scene re:vive generates but don’t want to get to know God, that’s fine. As long as you’re not antagonistic to those who might want to know more, you’re more than welcome to be part of the re:vive community. The flip side being that if you’d like to find out more about God but are nervous of large crowds then, hey, attendance at social gatherings isn’t mandatory.

about re:vive

So, re:vive is essentially a community of believers and non-believers sharing the journey of life together. We want our community to be authentic, genuinely loving, caring and honest. We laugh together, we cry together. We sing and dance and we mourn together.


We recognize that we don’t all have to be the same or think the same to get along. And for those of us who are seeking God, and constantly being challenged by questions of faith, we realize that it’s OK to not have all the answers.


Because re:vive is a church it is founded on certain principles and values. It is our desire, as a faith community, to constantly strive to live in harmony with God’s will and to live out Christ’s commission to ‘make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.’ We simply go about this task in the understanding that it is God who calls and the Holy Spirit who convicts. The role of the church is simply to nurture and to equip new believers and to foster a spirit of true community and fellowship extended to all those within our sphere of influence.
