Embracing the diversity of worship
Grace is the Place of Hope for All People
Ministry Overview
Habakkuk 2:2 instructs leaders to "write the vision and make it plain" enough for those running by to read it and understand it. Revival Temple is moving in a new direction following the leading of the Holy Spirit. In order for Revival Temple to go to the next level and become the ministry that God has ordained there must be a new commitment to ministry and to the work of Christ. The vision for the future must be a shared vision. The pastor, ministers, leaders, and members must share equally in the vision of this ministry and strive diligently together to make the vision a reality.

Our Ministries
There is no one distinct way to worship. All acts of worship, when done with utmost humility and sincerity and in truth, bring glory to God. We embrace the diversity of worship and the plethora of styles of worship and acts of service towards others which continue to glorify God. Worship is service. All acts of worship do not take place within the confines of a building, nor do they all follow a prescribed order of service, nor do they embrace traditional models of structured religious services. Worship is real love in real time reaching real people with real issues. God honors our creative expressions of love and worship, our service to others for the sake of God's name. Therefore we honor the multiple ways, modes, and acts in which genuine worship through our human service is done to make Christ alive to the world.
The ministry of GRACE UNITED FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES is focused and committed to meeting the needs of people, regardless of who or what they are. We maintain that the work of ministry is for all people. Jesus commanded us in Matthew 28:19-20, to go into the "all" the world to teach them to observe all that He has commanded. We realize that none of us are without faults or flaws. Our ministry is not one of condemnation (John 3:17); it is one of reconciliation, bringing the world back to God. This is a ministry of love and acceptance, affirming people for who they are, not differentiating on what people are. We are all God's people and we are determined and enter God's gates with thanksgiving and into the courts of God's presence with praise (Psalm 100). We are thankful to God for all God has done, for showing forth such unprecedented and unconditional love and forgiveness towards each of us, and for this we bless the Name of the Lord. The truth of the Lord is found in this, we are God's hands, ears, eyes and feet and God is calling for people who are willing to reach out to people who need to that God is love and that God loves them for who they are.
GRACE UNITED FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES is unique in that God has placed people together who each have a unique interest and area of ministry. Each of ministry is different and brings something special to the community of faith. However, we respect each other for our differences and strive to support and to spiritually cover the ministries that we represent. From domestic violence, to HIV/AIDS, to senior Medicaid/Medicare, to legacy planning, to women’s issues, to youth and young adults, to same gender loving, to substance abuse, to street and neighborhood canvassing, we each have a different passion for ministry, but it is by no accident that God has brought us together as the GRACE UNITED FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES. Ministry is what we have committed ourselves to doing. Through the effective work of ministry, we seek to be the human embodiment of the living Christ in this present age as we reach and teach the least, the lost, and the left out in society.
