Our history - our vision

Jesus Revolution Church has been planted by myself, Matthew Roberts and a group of friends.  I  came back to my childhood faith in 2022 through a mix of God's hand and  the research I was doing on 'The Holy Grail' (for  the subsequent book that I wrote on the subject)    As soon as I had made the decision to 'come home' and after a fair bit of crying and grief and laughter,  God gave me very clear instructions for how I was to live my life from this point on and exactly what I was to do.  It combined the prophetic voice of my childhood calling alongside the path and experiences of my entrepreneurial life.

God said in simple things to "Sell everything, have nothing and await instructions".  This I have done and in 2024 following prayer and fasting I got the first instruction, to plant a church in Totnes, that is in readiness for a move of God we call 'Revival.' 

We are a church with a strong belief, based on the original teachings of Christ and His early disciples.  

We believe in signs and wonders and the manifest and irrefutable power of God's word, the Bible, and that He dwells  amongst us bringing healing, salvation and a purpose.

 

I welcome you to join us on this pilgrimage.
 

Alongside my own instructions from God, the pastor and leadership team at the church I attend in Newton Abbot were given instructions to 'Go into Totnes and claim the ground'.  Mount Olive Ministries, led by Pastor Paul Knights, heard and obeyed God's instructions and began carrying out street evangelism in the town. 

 

Open Heaven, an initiative used at Mount Olive, was launched in Totnes, and for 6 months Mount Olive carried out outreach evenings of worship, teaching, and evangelism, initially on a monthly basis, and then fortnightly.  The ministry was backed by prayer and weekly fasting and during this period we witnessed salvations, healing, and deliverance. We outgrew our original venue (Bogan House) and moved to the larger space provided in the Civic Hall.

 

By Christmas 2024 Mount Olive Ministries felt that they had achieved what the Lord had called them to do.  In January 2025 I saw the opportunity to fulfil the vision the Lord had given me and officially opened and launched Jesus Revolution Church as a fledging church plant with a large vision for revival church.

Jeremiah 29:11 sums it up perfectly...

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new church family.
