Revive Church (formerly Calvary Chapel O’hare) was formed in 1993. We are a Calvary Chapel affiliate church and align our beliefs with their statement of faith (http://calvarycca.org/statement-of-faith/).
Back in 2001, we embarked on a huge journey as we stepped out in faith to purchase our old run-down bowling alley. It has been an incredible path as we have since had to PRAY, step out in faith, trust, battle, PRAY, plan, demolish, PRAY, build, work, PRAY some more and, now, keep on PRAYing! But it has been all for the glory of our Great God. We now enjoy a facility that has been 50% radically transformed into a place of worship and service to the Lord.
There have been many challenges and transitions in our church over the years, but God has shown Himself faithful every time no matter what our circumstances. Our plan is to continue to “seek first the kingdom of God” as we let Him lead us to minister in whatever way He would have us to go. It is our prayer that if you are looking for a church to call home you can find it here with us.
Revive Church is a community of believers brought together by the grace of God to worship Him in spirit and truth and share the good news of His Son with the world. We have a simple vision summed up in one statement: Following Jesus, Building His Kingdom. We seek to do that by three means. The first is by knowing God Himself. That’s why we study His Word verse by verse. The Bible is still relevant for our lives and we seek to apply it to our lives every day. The second is in growing together as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. We do this by various gatherings throughout each week. These may be Bible studies, family activities, or group events. Thirdly, we are committed to going into the world to bring the love of God to those who have not yet experienced it.
