Revive Comes to Town

On Wednesday 14^th September 2005 over 150 Christians, from 43 different churches in Rugby met at The Indian Community Centre to launch REVIVE, a new grouping of Christians who are working together to raise the profile of the churches of the town.

We believe Revive is a move of God among the churches of the borough of Rugby since 2003 which is demonstrated in:

growing trust and developing relationships between church leaders (who have breakfast together every month)
renewed vision for the church's mission in the area
the emergence of new projects e.g. R-Hop; Hope4 and Refresh
the commitment of churches to work together

Our Mission statement is

To know Christ and to make him known through empowering individual Christians and churches.

We aim to:

Encourage each Christian to develop the heart and mind of a disciple
Encourage the community of God’s people in the Rugby area to work together to fulfil the Great Commission.
Encourage each church to reach out appropriately and effectively to the wider community, reflecting their own character

These aims are reflected in several new projects across the town:

Refresh Outreach among clubbers and others in the town centre on Friday night / Saturday morning: Free hot drinks, somebody to talk to and some space.

Hope 4 Action among the homeless in our town. Raising consciousness, providing food, creating a drop in centre at the former St Philip’s Church
