Church Highlight: Revive Church – Rochester, NY

Revive Church, in Rochester, New York exists to lead people, through Spirit-empowered ministry, to become fully devoted followers of Jesus. And it is their vision to plant a life-giving church through revival, that brings personal conversion, transformation, and cultural renewal to the Rochester Metropolitan Area.

Over the past several years, God began to download a specific vision in Pastors Dan and Charlene Wallenbeck to plant a life-giving church in the Rochester area. In March of 2023, in a time of prayer, Pastor Dan was impressed on his heart by the Holy Spirit that the time had come to begin this labor of love. He felt directed to retire early from his position at Greater Southern Tier BOCES, sell their home and many of their belongings, and move to Rochester, New York, to plant Revive Church. Every year, Pastor Charlene prays for a word from the Lord for the new year. In January 2023, Charlene received one word from the Holy Spirit, which was “move!” Neither one really knew what “move” meant until March of 2023 when the Lord made it clear to them.

Dan and Charlene immediately responded in quick obedience, beginning the process of selling their home, retiring, and moving. Charlene moved to Rochester, in September, 2023, to start her new job as a Special Education Teacher, while Dan was commuting several days per week until their home sold in December 2023.

At Revive Church, they know the healing that can take place in a person’s life when they receive Jesus Christ and their lives become completely transformed through His love and power. They long to see many receive healing of lifelong wounds and complete restoration.

Their name is Revive Church because they believe we need a revival to revitalize and restore people’s love relationship with God and His presence in their lives. Pastors Dan and Charlene are passionate about not having to wait until tomorrow for your revival because yo can have it today!

Please join us this week as we celebrate and lift up our friends at Revive Church in prayer! We are excited about all God is doing and will continue to do in and through them!
