Mission & Vision

Our vision and mission is to proclaim “New Life in Christ to the Nations of Silicon Valley.” Revive Presbyterian Church is a Gospel-centered, grace-motivated family who seeks to be a beacon of the hope we have in Jesus Christ. We will intentionally cross cultures and generations to reach immigrants and minority Americans with the Gospel and unleash a disciple-making and church-planting movement to impact the nations from the “end of the earth” that have come to this metropolitan area that is so crucial and strategic for the Kingdom of God at this moment of history.

Our Story

The core members who planted Revive Presbyterian Church of Silicon Valley came out of the English congregation of an immigrant church in Santa Clara called San Jose New Hope Christian Reformed Church. Revive was officially designated a church plant of the Northern California Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) on July 7, 2018. The launch service for Revive took place on Sunday, September 22, 2019. The first two years after launch had its share of difficulties with the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdowns in Santa Clara County, but the Lord was ever so good to us and sustained us. Since then, the church has been growing and changing, and we have seen beautiful things from God.

We are excited about what He is doing in and through us in His calling for us to be a church to love and reach Silicon Valley with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Silicon Valley is physically beautiful with almost perfect weather and has astonishing concentrations of wealth. However, underneath all the seeming worldly success, there is also great brokenness. This is a very stressful place to live in which people struggle with constant performance pressures, high costs, achievement and success idolatries, questions of self-worth, loneliness, and depression. A single-digit percentage of the inhabitants know Christ and are active in church, and the Valley is filled with immigrants and minorities who have never stepped foot into a church and know nothing about God, Jesus, and the Bible. The need for churches that can effectively reach these immigrants and minority Americans is tremendous. At the same time, the potential for global Kingdom impact is incalculable.

What We Believe

We affirm and embrace historic Biblical Christianity with classic, orthodox doctrines, such as:

The Trinitarian God of the Bible
The supernatural inspiration and the inerrancy of Scripture
The sinful depravity of human beings, our inability to save ourselves, and the cursed fallenness of creation
The full divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God
The atoning work on the Cross and the saving efficacy of the shed blood of Christ as the Lamb of God
The victorious and glorious resurrection and the gift of eternal life
Salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone
The outpouring and indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Triune God
The importance of the Church as the Bride and Body of Christ
The return of Jesus Christ to consummate His redemptive work and reign over all of creation in everlasting beautiful shalom

Revive is a member of the Northern California Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).

The PCA’s unofficial motto and purpose from its inception is to be:

“Faithful to the Scriptures,
True to the Reformed Faith,
Obedient to the Great Commission”

It separated from the Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS Southern) in opposition to the long-developing theological heterodoxy which denied the deity of Jesus Christ and the inerrancy and authority of Scripture. Additionally, the PCA held to the traditional position on the role of women in church offices.
In December 1973, delegates, representing some 260 congregations with a combined communicant membership of over 41,000 that had left the PCUS, gathered at Briarwood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and organized the National Presbyterian Church, which later became the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
Today, the denomination has over 1,600 churches, 88 presbyteries, 5,300 pastors, and approximately 400,000 members. It is one of the few growing Christian denominations in the United States.

Additionally, we subscribe to the doctrinal teachings of the Westminster Standards, which were formed to rigorously submit to the Bible’s authority following the Reformation:
