AI Summary
Under Pastor Benson McGlone—appointed lead pastor in 2023 after planting the Revive House Church campus in 2017 and holding an M.Div. from Duke—Gainesville blends a long history (founded 1884, new building in 2006) with rapid growth to over 1,000 members and a multi-campus energy. The congregation is mission-minded, hosting a Mardi Gras–themed Mission Auction that has raised substantial funds for local and international work (including significant projects in Ethiopia), running weekly Serving Friends outreach with the church truck “Gertrude,” monthly Care 4 Community service days, and regular blood drives. Families and youth are well supported with childrens’ classes, a secure check-in system, busy bags for worship, mandatory background checks and child-protection training for volunteers, a 13-week Confirmation course with retreat, youth-led Sunday services, and summer mission trips. Visitors will also find ample online and study resources—live streaming via BoxCast and social channels, online giving and registration through Elexio, weekly sermon study guides and an Impact Report—alongside a warm staff culture (even two resident dogs, Bean and Duncan).
