Horizon Texas Conference 2025 Stretch Grant Update: This fall, it was announced that our 2025 New Church Start Grant has a matching component. The Horizon Texas Conference will match every dollar given at 50% up to a $90,000 grant. That means that every $1 that is given to the general fund by us will actually be $1.50!
This is an amazing opportunity to begin dreaming bigger for God! For example, we plan to hire a Children's Ministries Director who will reach out to area families. We’d love to increase the children’s budget to help that person reach new families!
As of Sunday (11/09/2025), we’ve received $136,029 into our General Fund given by our congregation. Our goal to receive the full grant is $180,000 given by our congregation before the new year. Please prayerfully consider an additional stretch gift in 2025 or adding a percentage point to your regular giving so that Revive can expand our ministries and impact in the coming year.

Seed the Capital Campaign: In order for Revive to purchase property or a building, we’ll need to have a capital campaign. In advance of that future effort, you are invited to prayerfully consider today what will fuel our future as the people called United Methodists here in this place. Your second-mile giving can help “seed” our building fund. Check out the big thermometer eachweek and place any offerings in the bowl beneath it. Our Building Seed has grown to $31,424 (10/31/25). See Dana Hollingsworth for more info.
Learn Our Songs at Home: Now you can take worship home by listening to “Revive UMC Azle 2025” playlists on Spotify and Amazon. The aim of this playlist is to help us learn the contemporary songs that we sing in worship. To get the playlist, just search for “Revive UMC Azle 2025” on Spotify or Amazon.
Stop, Drop, and Pray - Thursdays at 10 am: Every week, Revive takes a few minutes to stop, drop, and pray! This is a 10 minute or less zoom call where a single leader leads us in a time of prayer over our community, our church and our world. Just drop in when you can so that we can be in consistent prayer for guidance and blessing from the Holy Spirit.
