Baptism for the believer is a step of obedience (Romans 10:9-10) and serves as a public profession of faith in Christ. It is a symbol of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ (Romans 6:3-11). This year we celebrated as 364 kids, students and adults publicly professed their belief and faith in Jesus.

In January R Family spent 21 days dedicated to prayer, fasting, and worship. This was a time focused on clearing out distractions and seeking the Lord together as a church by digging deep into God's Word. At the end of this 21 day season, we came together for ABIDE Nights to worship and celebrate how God moved and transformed lives within R church.

Caden shares how one of the most difficult seasons of his life revealed the power of community. In the middle of fear and uncertainty, he experienced people consistently showing up to support and care for him. His small group, made up of his closest friends, became a lifeline during his treatments and recovery. Caden’s story is a powerful reminder that God designed us to live in community and that groups can carry us through life’s hardest seasons.

Jesse shares how joining a men’s recovery group at Revolution came during one of the lowest points of his life, when addiction had left everything falling apart. What he found wasn’t judgment or pressure to “try harder,” but a community that understood his struggle and applied biblical truth to recovery. Through that group, Jesse experienced sobriety, healing, and a new way of drawing near to God. Now, as a leader, he’s seen firsthand how recovery groups help bring restoration, purpose, and hope to men and families who need it most.

In 2025 our RevKids celebrated an incredible milestone after completing the Gospel Project and walking through the entire Bible together. Over three years, they discovered how every story points to Jesus and learned to hide God’s Word in their hearts as they grow in their faith. This achievement marked an important moment in their spiritual journey and laid a strong foundation for a lifelong relationship with Christ. We are so proud of our RevKids and excited to see how God continues to work in their lives.

In June 330 STUDENTS attended Mission Camp along with some pretty incredible Team Members. It was a week filled with helping our students GROW in their faith as they lived life on mission by partnering with 13 CHURCHES & ORGANIZATIONS in the surrounding area of Western Carolina University.

In August RevStudents hosted One Night, a gathering where students invited their friends and at least one person they could invest in over the course of the school year. It was an unforgettable night with 770 STUDENTS in attendance including 141 FIRST TIME GUESTS as well as 29 STUDENTS placing their trust in Jesus!

In July a group of our Young Adults traveled to Scotland to live life on mission. Scotland is considered an unreached people group, with fewer than 3% of the population identifying as Christian. Our team partnered with Caledonian Collective to serve Kiltarlity Free Church in the Highlands by painting, landscaping, and updating their building while building relationships with the local church community. They also refreshed four garden spaces at Doune Primary School to bless teachers and students. We are proud of our Young Adults and continue to pray that the people of Scotland would come to know and love Jesus.

In July we opened our doors at Revolution Canton and Revolution Jasper and partnered will Hillside Church in Woodstock to serve 2,423 KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES for Give A Kid A Chance! Each child picked out school supplies and a backpack for the upcoming school year. Also, every family had the opportunity to pray with one of our caring Team Members and were given a food box and other resources to help their kids have an incredible start to the school year.

In December, we invited our entire church to sponsor over 2,200 KIDS for Hope for Christmas! The day of the event was filled with so much joy, hope, and smiles as families in our communities had the opportunity to be loved and prayed for by amazing Team Members and received Christmas gifts for their families and supplies needed to have a delicious Christmas day dinner.
