Revival Tabernacle church opened its doors for the first time in 1990, under the leadership of the founding pastors, Tim Dilena and Roosevelt Hunter. The church purchased and renovated a XXX theatre in Highland Park on Woodward Avenue, the main street and gateway to the city of Detroit.
In 2003, with a generous financial gift from Pastor David Wilkerson of Times Square Church, Revival Tabernacle expanded its property with the addition of the RevivalTab Ministry Center. This expansion, which included a full-size gymnasium, commercial kitchen, new offices, and Children’s Ministry floor, allowed for further outreach to the community.
For 20 years, Pastor Tim and his wife Cindy pastored with a passion and burden to preach the Word of God in the city of Detroit and throughout the world. The reach and impact of their ministry still contributes value to the foundation of our church.
In 2010, Pastor Tim Dilena and family relocated to New York. He is now the Senior Pastor at Times Square Church. His executive pastor, Kevin Ramsby was selected to be the second pastor in Revival Tabernacle’s history. Pastor Ramsby and his wife Sarah led the church in serving and setting an unprecedented example of living a life of forgiveness. In 2015, Pastor Kevin stepped down from his position as Senior Pastor. The church leadership selected Pastor Devin and Cortney Gough to lead Revival Tabernacle and continue the mission to serve the community of Highland Park.
Revival Tabernacle is a thriving multi-generational church family that continues to prioritize the Word, worship and the work of reaching those who are far from God!
Leaders and Staff of RevivalTab
We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.
Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Baptism in Water
The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Saviour and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.
Holy Communion
The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements --bread and the fruit of the vine-- is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ 2 Peter 1:4, a memorial of his suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26, and a prophecy of His second coming 1 Corinthians 11:26, and is enjoined on all believers "till He come!"
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God.
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven.
A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the fourfold purpose of leading the Church.
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
"We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness."
