Revive was founded in the basement of the BYX house in the fall of 2022 when God brought together a group of students to start a ministry. These students were inspired by the work that God had done at other college campuses through ministries like Breakaway at Texas A&M, Vertical at Baylor, and others, and wanted to see a move of God at the University of Texas at Austin. 

Our hearts were breaking for the campus of UT and the thousands of students who do not know that they have a Creator who loves them and deeply desires a relationship with them. So, we began meeting weekly to thoughtfully and prayerfully consider what building a ministry like this would look like. The first thing we did was seek out wise counsel from folks at all of the aforementioned ministries, along with pastors in the local Austin area. We first did semesterly events, then monthly, and then, through the grace and provision of God, moved to weekly services in the fall of 2024. Since our first event in April of 2023, God has graciously allowed us to reach thousands of students with the gospel and hundreds of people have been involved in our ministry. 

We desire to be a ministry that serves the found and reaches the lost. We want Christians on campus to feel like they can have a space where they can come together in unity and worship alongside members of all ministries and churches represented on campus. We also want to be a place where the nonbeliever can come to know Jesus and hear the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Revive Texas is open to any and every college student. We believe the Gospel is for everyone, and we desire to create a space where people can open their hearts to hearing it.

We desire to be faithful to God's calling for our lives and trust in Him through it all. Revive Texas is an act of surrender to a faithful God, and we hope to see you come alongside us in witnessing the fruit that will be produced from it!
