THE RESURGENCE STORY

In the summer of 2008, a group of individuals experienced a stirring in their spirits, a deep longing for more of God and a desperate hunger for more of His presence. They were not content with the status quo; they wanted to see change, transformation, and revival. And so, after much prayer and travail, the concept of “Resurgence” was born, a word that means rising again, resurrection, renewal, and restoration to use.

The team that was formed had a vision to create an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit was welcome to move freely, where true worship was released, where the Gospel was preached and demonstrated, and where people could experience healing, freedom, and a commission to live for the Kingdom. This was not going to be just a one-time event, but more of a lasting lifestyle – a movement.

The story of Ezekiel 37, where the valley of dry bones comes to life, became the heart of their community. They realized that God was calling people of all ages – the vast expanse of dry bones – to rise up! God longs for life to come back into this generation in a fresh and new way, and Resurgence was born to be a part of that revival.

This movement is not about building one church or hosting another conference, but about expanding God’s kingdom. It is about experiencing the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Resurgence is a call to action, a call to rise up and be part of a movement that is transforming lives, communities, and nations.

The dream involves you! Let us be inspired by the passion and dedication of the Resurgence team, who were drawn together by the Spirit with a holy dissatisfaction and a hunger for more of God. Let us join them in their mission to create an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit is welcome to move freely, and where people can experience the power and presence of God. May we too be part of this movement of God’s love, grace, and transformation.

Resurgence continues to gather denominations and churches while stewarding the forerunner mandate to pioneer and go to new places. After 14 years, we are dreaming bigger than we ever have and impacting farther than we ever thought possible. What started as a gathering in Edmonton is now going Global impacting movements and leaders beyond one City. We don’t know the extent or reach but we trust God as we steward a ministry that He birthed. There is a burning in our heart for Him to use us to Reach People, Revive Churches, and Release Leaders. This is just the beginning of our God story… Will you join us?

OUR INITIATIVES

GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO LEAD

Empower Nights are once-a-month gatherings designed to equip you to have Kingdom impact in all areas of your life. Kingdom impact means using the unique gifts God has given you to serve, share your faith, and live out Kingdom principles everywhere you go. We believe everyone is called to this type of leadership and when we live as the Kingdom leaders God has called us to be, we will see societal transformation.

Through teaching, encounter and community, we will be equipped and grow together as Spirit-empowered leaders.

LET'S UNITE OUR CITY IN WORSHIP

We host citywide, interdenominational worship nights where we gather with people from all over the capital region to worship.

PRAYER IS OUR FOUNDATION

The first gathering we ever had as a ministry was to pray. Everything in this ministry is birthed in prayer. We host monthly Gather & Pray nights where we call the city of Edmonton and the surrounding area to a unified time of prayer and worship, in partnership with House of Prayer Edmonton. We also have pre-service prayer before our gatherings and opportunities for personal prayer ministry.

WE LOVE THE CHURCH AND WANT TO EQUIP IT

Three, five-week series that build and strengthen connections to God and others:

Come+Unity: Discovering our Identity
Come+Union: Defining Worship
Come+Mission: Demonstrating the Kingdom

GATHERING WITH THE PURPOSE OF SCATTERING

An annual retreat with the mandate to “advance” in the context of vulnerable and accountable community.

WORSHIP AT RESURGENCE IS AN OVERFLOW OF A PRIVATE LIFE OF WORSHIP

Through tuning in, we hope you’ll gain transformative insights and encounters with the Holy Spirit, and grow in your calling to lead.

HOW DO YOU LIVE

A LIFESTYLE OF RESURGENCE EVERYDAY?

Our call isn’t to an event or a gathering, but to a lifestyle…We are all called.

THE RESURGENCE VALUES

Whole

**we are healed and transformed by God.**

We must invite God to heal and transform us by seeking and surrendering to Him; God makes us whole so we can live out our identities as His sons and daughters in every area of our lives.

Spirit-Led

**we are empowered by Holy Spirit.**

Holy Spirit and the spiritual gifts are for all Christians. We depend on Holy Spirit to guide all our decisions and help us lead lives of love and obedience. When we steward the gifts God has given us, His goodness is revealed in the Church and the world.

Relational

**we are connected as family.**

God the Father’s design for His creation is family. Christ calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves, including those in our own homes, our city, the church, and the world. We connect God’s children into the family through genuine friendship.

Kingdom Minded

**we are intentional about our everyday actions.**

God calls all believers to work together to build His Kingdom. The combination of our giftings, callings, perspectives, denominations and generations demonstrates God’s glory on Earth.

Fruitful

**we are united as an expression of God’s Kingdom.**

God’s plan is for His children to partner with Him; He has created each of us for a specific purpose. With this in mind, we can be intentional in all that we do so that His love is shared with others.

EVANGELISM AND THE EVANGELIST ARE RARE
