Our story
How Revive Church Came to Be— A Journey of Revival
At Revive Church, we believe in the power of living and loving like Jesus, right where we are.
Our story began in 1988 with a simple but profound goal: to reach and love the people of Northwest Arvada. Over the years, we’ve grown and transformed, but our mission has always stayed the same—making an impact in the community we’re blessed to be part of.
Faith and Community in Every Step
Revive Church wasn’t always known by this name. We started as Foothills Community Church, with our first services held in various venues across Arvada, including the Arvada Center and Moore Middle School. Back then, church setup meant everyone pitched in—setting up chairs, sound systems, and everything in between. We often joked, “If you can find us next week, you can worship with us,” because our locations changed frequently.
Despite the challenges, we felt God’s hand guiding us every step of the way. We grew together as a community, leaning into faith and purpose. In 2001, we moved into our permanent home at 80th and Carr, a place we knew would be more than just a building—it would be a space where people could experience revival.
Our Heart for Arvada
Over time, our community has experienced incredible growth, not just in size but in mission. We’ve always believed in being a church that doesn’t just exist within four walls, but actively serves and influences the surrounding community. Our heart beats for the city of Arvada, and we’ve seen firsthand how Jesus can bring peace and healing to people right where they live, work, study, and play.
In 2020, we felt God calling us to embrace a new name that better reflected this mission: Revive Church. The word “revive” captures everything we aim for—bringing new life to people, places, and communities. We’re called to pursue the peace and prosperity of Arvada, just as we are called to equip each person in our church to live out their faith in practical, everyday ways.
A Vision for Revival
Today, Revive Church is more than just a gathering place for Sunday worship. We are part of a larger vision to transform not only our church community but our city and beyond. Our shopping center, now called The Bridge, is a hub for outreach, collaboration, and bringing the hope of Jesus to our city.
In everything we do, from our Sunday services to our outreach programs, we seek to empower people to be a reviving presence in their communities. We believe that the love of Jesus is meant to be lived out every day, and we’re committed to equipping people to do just that.
