Welcome to Our New Masthead
We are excited to introduce a dynamic new masthead featuring a rotating series of images inspired by the powerful work of the Holy Spirit in renewing the church. Each image reflects a vital theme of revival, hope, and transformation — core values that resonate deeply with our community and the heart of progressive Christianity.
This rotation not only brings visual life to our site but also reminds us daily of the Spirit’s ongoing movement among us — inspiring us to live boldly, love inclusively, and proclaim the gospel with renewed passion. We invite you to explore these themes and join us in this journey of faith and renewal.
Spirit-Led Revival: The Power of the Holy Spirit in Renewing the Church
God’s Spirit Brings Life
At the dawn of creation, the Spirit of God hovered over the waters, bringing life and order to the formless void. This same Spirit continues to breathe new life into the church, restoring hope and vitality where there was once despair. Through Christ, the Spirit writes God’s life-giving law on human hearts, renewing and transforming us from within.
Revival is a movement of God’s Spirit that breathes new life into the church and the world. As described in the Lausanne Movement’s article on the Holy Spirit and Revival , the Spirit empowers believers to live transformed lives and to boldly proclaim the gospel.
Jesus Promised Pentecost
Jesus assured His followers that the Father would send the Holy Spirit to empower them. At Pentecost, this promise was fulfilled with a mighty wind and tongues of fire, igniting boldness and unity among believers. The Spirit’s outpouring marked the birth of the church and continues to empower believers worldwide to be witnesses of Christ’s love.
God’s Servants Declare the Life-giving Message
God calls faithful servants to proclaim His life-giving message with power and love. Just as Ezekiel was commanded to speak life to dry bones, believers today are empowered by the Spirit to bring healing and transformation to communities, establishing new faith-filled gatherings across the world.
The Saviour is Exalted
Spirit-led revival centers on exalting Jesus Christ. As believers live out their God-given callings, the name of Jesus is lifted high. True revival glorifies Christ, emboldening His followers to proclaim His message despite opposition, drawing all people to Him.
The Scriptures Guide
Lasting revival is rooted in the faithful proclamation of Scripture. Though revival can be messy, Scripture provides the foundation and plumb line for discerning God’s work. The Bible guides believers to live in love and truth, ensuring revival bears fruit that endures.
The Spirit Spreads God’s Love
One of the greatest gifts of the Spirit is the abundant love of God poured into believers’ hearts. This divine love breaks down barriers of culture and prejudice, enabling the church to serve and love others selflessly, reflecting God’s heart to the world.
