Changes & Development Achievements

• Property

This has been a busy year that has seen significant progress of the church as we secured a long-term place of worship, which he enhanced a continuation to develop our commitment and understanding that God has blessed us, as his people in order that we might reach out to others in our community. This has indeed facilitated gathering and making a positive contribution to the communities that we are part, as it is the responsibility of the Christian faith.

During the course of the year there were several special services for Dedication of Children and Celebrations. Additional services are held on Good Friday, Autumn Half Term Conference and also at Christmas (Carols Service). These events were well attended by Church Members and the local community.

• The church’s ministry and new initiatives Performance

Advancing the Christian faith: During the year House of Revival have had a special focus on frontline Christian ministry. One area for particular attention during the year has been the prayer life of the church, whereby, the pattern of a weekly Saturday evening prayer meeting was enhanced by a new rhythm of telephone monthly prayer times by every department of the church and a weekly prayer time by the leadership of the church as well.

These prayer sessions have seen a considerable increase in the number of people involved in regular corporate prayer given the essence of prayer to the Christian faith.

Also, as a church our teaching programmes has had a strong focus on discipleship with strong focus on discipleship with more attention given to home cell group though the provision of centrally prepared and printed resources, and training for study leaders before specific Bible passages are discussed. This area of ministry is something that we are looking to expand in the coming year.

Community

Core to the pursuit of our objectives and mission statement, House of Revival served people of all ages and backgrounds, to grow in their faith and connect into the community, ad increasing access to a thriving, supportive and accessible church community, though personal pastoral input and support, and have further extended our work to a greater and more diverse catchment area.

Activities such as departmental workshops, leadership conference and personal developments are ongoing and those who are part of HOUSE OF Revival have been trained and encouraged to identify various ways of contributing and building and serving the local community in their own way and time.

During the week, the church provides activities for children and the youth such as mid-week club for various ages, several teenage groups meet for Bible studies and other activities. We have received positive reports throughout the year with regards to the inspiration, encouragement and the care people have accessed through the services provided.

Welfare Team

The church still runs a small-scale food bank system that delivers food to the people who need it most. The food is acquired through donation from members, much of which would otherwise be wasted. This helps in a way to break the cycle of poverty

What needs are being met

Giving children a head start in life
Supporting families
Reducing social isolation
Helping both the aged and young families to live a healthy, better life

Future Plans

Having secured a long lease for a place of worship, House of Revival Ministries is looking to expand the range of its activities in the coming years to further its involvement in the community. We aim to make our building and services easily accessible to the general public in Coventry, especially to those with disabilities in the form of providing ramps for wheelchairs and flexible seating.
We hope to engage more with the Coventry City Council as part of the church’s response to local needs especially to the less privileged and the needy.
Building a digital church: Through the use of digital technologies, we have a vision to connect with anyone anywhere to a life changing relationship with Jesus’, and to grow an audience of people both in UK and internationally. This initiative would by far, be of public benefit to those unable to leave home on the grounds of health or care responsibilities, and to all who are unable to access our church locations but can connect with us digitally.
Church recognizes it also needs to create ways for people to serve care for and positively contribute to the wider community, and leaders across the church are creating a sustainable voluntary team to help the vulnerable in our communities.
To collaborate and build partnerships with other organisations in order to continue to expand our programmes in delivering a range of affordable and accessible services that create connections, opportunities and training events that seek to harness the skills and resources of our members.

Provision of pastoral care

The charity puts the welfare of its congregation and the community it serves at the heart of its yearly objectives. During the course of the year, the House of Revival in collaboration with the founder and senior pastor visited members who have not attended services for some time. The church also organised intercessory prayers for the community and the nation at large.

The church also played a pivotal role during the peak of the global pandemic (Covid 19) by allowing its premises to be used as a test centre. Some of our members also acted as Covid 19 volunteers by directing people and advising them on Covid 19 protocols.
