Each year we take time to look back over the last 12 months to see how God has been faithful towards our church and in our community. This report is a quick overview of some highlights we have experienced at Revolution Church. If you've given to Revolution or served in any capacity this year, thank you for your generosity and serving faithfully.

BAPTISM RECAP
Baptism for the believer is a step of obedience (Romans 10:9-10) and serves as a public profession of faith in Christ. It is a symbol of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ (Romans 6:3-11). This year we celebrated as 228 kids, students and adults publicly professed their belief and faith in Jesus.
ABIDE
In January R Family spent 21 days dedicated to prayer, fasting, and worship. This was a time focused on clearing out distractions and seeking the Lord together as a church by digging deep into God's Word. At the end of this 21 day season, we came together for ABIDE Nights to worship and celebrate how God moved and transformed lives within R church.

Stewardship Class is for those ready to Join R Church. During this time together we discuss the mission and vision of the church with the goals of strengthening your faith, understanding our culture, and putting your roots down deep in R FAMILY.
Our Team Members have the number 72 on their shirts. The number 72 refers to when Jesus sent out the 72 disciples to do the work of ministry (Luke 10:1-2). We want to equip our Team Members for the work of ministry and then send them out in order to see them return with JOY.

ONE NIGHT
In August RevStudents hosted One Night, a gathering where students invited their friends and at least one person they could invest in over the course of the school year. It was an unforgettable night with 551 STUDENTS in attendance including 116 FIRST TIME GUESTS as well as 23 STUDENTS placing their trust in Jesus!

Rev Music is a collective of writers and musicians who use our talents to glorify God through song. As the sound of Revolution Church, it is our heart to offer passionate and authentic worship through music that builds up this house and, furthermore, the kingdom of God. Songwriting is an amazing process and the people that make up our team range from those with years of experience to those who’ve never even tried to pen a song. We believe God has given us all a song, and anyone can be a songwriter.

GIVE A KID A CHANCE
In July we opened our doors at Revolution Canton and Revolution Jasper and partnered will Hillside Church in Woodstock to serve 2,422 KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES for Give A Kid A Chance! Each child picked out school supplies and a backpack for the upcoming school year. Also, every family had the opportunity to pray with one of our caring Team Members and were given a food box and other resources to help their kids have an incredible start to the school year.
We were also able to provide an additional 458 BACKPACKS to other organizations & churches including Haiti Cheri, Crossover Church, House of Hope in Africa, and Goshen Valley.
HOPE FOR CHRISTMAS
In December, we invited our entire church to sponsor over 2,100 KIDS for Hope for Christmas! The day of the event was filled with so much joy, hope, and smiles as families in our communities had the opportunity to be loved and prayed for by amazing Team Members and received Christmas gifts for their families and supplies needed to have a delicious Christmas day dinner.
FRIENDS FORMAL
In March we partnered with Cherokee County School District and hosted their annual Friends Formal at Revolution Canton. The formal is put on by the school district for kids with special needs. Team Members from both Revolution and CCSD came to help make the evening extra special for everyone. It was full of dancing, games, crafts, friendship bracelets, and lots of fun! We look forward to hosting the formal again in 2025.

A Note From Pastor Jason
As you can see, God moved in extraordinary ways in 2024, all made possible by your faithful giving. I can't quite put into words how grateful I am for everyone who continues to believe in and support the ministry of our church. Let's keep that momentum going and continue to be faithful. The best way you can do that is to set up a recurring gift through your bank account. Recurring giving allows us to anticipate giving to prepare and plan for the months ahead. I love you, church family, and can't wait to see how God moves in 2025!
