Our Team

Hello and welcome! Revive is a special church born out of a call to inclusion. We are followers of Jesus seeking the loving, just, and free world God imagines for all people. We believe that ALL are welcome in God's family. And we'd love for you to be part of it!

Come Sundays at 10:30 a.m. for coffee and stay for 11:00 a.m. worship. Or send me an email (katiemeek@reviveumcazle.org) and I'll take you to coffee to tell you more.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Katie Meek, Pastor

Hi! I'm Kelsi, the Youth Director here at Revive UMC! I have been in this position for two years and have loved every second! Building a strong support system for youth within the church is very important to me, as I believe it takes a village to empower the next generation of Christians. I also work full-time as a social worker at a behavioral hospital, so I integrate mental health into my faith and youth ministry as well! I maintain an affirming and compassionate attitude towards people from all backgrounds in and outside of work. Some more about me: I am 24 years old, I love singing, going to the movies, reading mystery and fantasy books, and spending time with friends and family! I also adore my tuxedo cat Michael (named after Michael Scott from The Office). Hope to meet you soon!

Holy Spirit, come among us. Holy Spirit come in power. Light a pathway before us to those whom you would call us to meet. Put words in us for those to whom you would call us to speak. Grow grace between us to welcome those whom you would call us to love. Give us courage to follow you into the new creation that you envision for us.
