How it all started...
OUR DNA - Why the name “Revival City”?
We launched the church with the name Tabernacle, representing God’s mobile presence. In 2020, God had provided a permanent location for us on 600 N. Tennessee St. Due to the permanent place, we felt called to change our name to “Revival City” to designate a resting place for God’s presence in our new spot and an apostolic vision for seeing heaven invade earth and the whole city reached for Jesus, all 7 mountains or aspects of society (Government, Religion, Education, Arts & Entertainment, Media, Family, Business).
The Old Testament tabernacle in the Bible was a mobile physical dwelling place of God's tangible and manifest presence. In the New Testament, Jesus (God in human flesh) physically tabernacled in the world he made in a visible way John 1:14 - "And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." In Leviticus 26 and Rev 21-22 and other places we see visions of a city belonging fully to God. Why not Mckinney? Why couldn’t this be a city of revival?
There are many churches in the DFW area, with many different focuses. Our focus is to be a place where anyone who visits with us doesn't just learn doctrine, ideas, or facts about God, but to be a place where people encounter God directly, know God as a Father, Jesus as a real, risen, Savior, and meet with Holy Spirit in a real way. We also feel a calling to be a resource and training center, equipping Christians to represent Jesus and release His love and power in the north Dallas region. We have dreams of 24/7 prayer, and a school of ministry. From carrying God’s presence to seeing cities and nations in revival, we hope you will join us at Revival City Church.
Psalm 85:6 - Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? - Join us in praying for revival that God will bring revival here and now.

Expanding the vision...
In July of 2024 Pastors Steve & JoAnne Rost officially handed over the leadership of Revival City Church to Pastor Shaun Rost. We have stepped into a new season as a church and are building upon the foundations that were built and put in place by Pastors Steve & JoAnne. We are excited for the future and all God is doing with us now
