Geelong Revival Fellowship

The Geelong Revival Fellowship is a nonprofit organization based in Australia, registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). It operates as a part of the broader Revival Fellowship, a conservative Pentecostal church movement that originated in Australia and has international assemblies.

Purpose and Activities

The Geelong Revival Fellowship is involved in Christian outreach programs and conducts regular church services. It focuses on spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and provides support and counseling to members and the broader community. This includes support for individuals affected by significant challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Affiliation with the Revival Fellowship

The Geelong Revival Fellowship shares its roots with the larger Revival Fellowship, which was formed following a schism from the Revival Centres International in 1995. The Revival Fellowship is known for its belief in signs, wonders, and miracles, aligning closely with biblical teachings, particularly those found in the book of Acts, which describes the early Christian church's experiences with the Holy Spirit.

Global Context

While the Geelong Revival Fellowship focuses on local community outreach, it is part of a network of assemblies across the world. The Revival Fellowship has a presence in multiple countries, including Australia, various parts of Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Governance

The Revival Fellowship, including its Geelong branch, operates under the leadership of a Council of Pastors from around the world. As of 2024, Pastor Paul Nobel serves as the chairman, based in Adelaide, South Australia.

The organization's activities are guided by its commitment to Christian principles and its mission to serve the local and global community.
