Ministry Vision

Jesus came to rescue us from our sin and bring us back to God!

We run after-school programming at Hope Academy in order to bring this message of good news to the youth of our city. Whether it's sharing a meal, playing fun games, or studying God's Word, our goal is for youth to know Jesus and grow as His disciples.

We do this by recruiting, training, and coaching an exceptional team of volunteer mentors from various like-minded local churches/ministries such as Jubilee Community Church, Cityview Church, Bethlehem Baptist Church, and Bethlehem College & Seminary.

REVIVE is a ministry of City Joy in partnership with Jubilee Community Church.
