Centres of Revival

Presence Centred
Gathering around the manifest Presence of God in worship
The one desire of our hearts is to worship God and to enjoy His presence forever. (Westminster confession of faith)
As a worshiping community that is honouring God, we release the worship we were created for.
We gather round the manifest presence of God to encounter the Holy Spirit, and seek to welcome Him to do all he desires in our lives.
We gather in worship to receive revelation so that we align our lives with the revealed purposes God.
We gather to bring about transformation as an expression of our worship.
In worship we pray and intercede in alignment with the prophetic revelation which reveals the surrender and posture of our lives submitted to the Lordship of Christ Jesus.
“One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.”
— Psalms 27:4
People Focussed
Being people focused leads to the restoration of a healthy life
We want every person to discover their unique identity and know they were created for a specific purpose. On realising their true identity and embracing the purpose God has for their life, each person is able to live out their destiny.
Living a life of purpose is established through security, significance and self-worth and by walking in God's love. People know they are unconditionally loved and accepted as they learn how to contribute and make an impact on others in a positive way, building a bond of belonging.
Being people focused results in a person's life being restored to health in all of their relationships. It will effectively transform every meaningful relationship and sphere of life.
People are reconciled to God, to themselves, to their family relationships, and to their community, thus bringing transformation into all spheres of life.
All this creates a sense of belonging as we grow in an expression of the family of God.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17-19
Community Oriented
Equipping and releasing healthy believers to transform their community
We seek to equip and release each person so they find their place of belonging within the church, then influence and bring the transforming power of the Gospel of the Kingdom into every sphere of life.
Our aim is transforming our culture. Being community based, we focus on:
the community in the locality of Dudley - this is our Jerusalem.
the nation - this is our Judea.
the cultures of diverse ethnicities and generational groups - this is our Samaria.
the nations - to ends of the earth.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
— Acts 1:8
Presence Centred, People Focused, Community Oriented
We seek God’s presence, to experience the power of the Holy Spirit, to see God’s glory materialise in healing, signs and wonders, bringing honour and praise to Christ Jesus who is our magnificent obsession.
Our Church
Revival Fires in Dudley was planted in 1998 by Trevor and Sharon Baker who have hosted renewal and revival conferences in the Midlands since 1994.
The church is marked by a freedom in worship, up to date testimonies of God at work in ordinary people’s lives, prophetic preaching made relevant to our personal lives today and prayer ministry where the Holy Spirit is invited to work in hearts and lives, as well as in physical healing.
Revival Fires has become a centre for revival and for equipping God’s people to reach out to the lost and hurting through mercy and missions especially in Eastern Europe and India.
After meeting for 7 years in the Grace Centre, God's favour and blessing opened a way for Revival Fires to aquire a new building, the Ministry Centre, where the church now meets.
In 2022, Ryan and Anna were ordained as Pastors to lead the church, the local expression of the vision and ministry of Revival Fires.

As a pastoral team, our leaders are committed to supporting you through life’s issues. If you need someone to talk to at length, or need pastoral help, this is available initially through our life groups.
We would love to have the pleasure of your company at one of our ‘Life Groups’ that meet weekly at various times and venues around Dudley. In the life groups, you can receive regular pastoral support and prayer, get to know other people from the church and receive teaching to help you grow in your faith and flourish in all that God has made you to be.
