Win the lost at any cost! This is the powerful motto of Christian Revival Church. CRC was established in 1994 by pastors At and Nyretta Boshoff in Bloemfontein, South Africa. CRC took on the mandate to reach and care for local communities, seeking to cater for, and meet the needs of the modern person. The Church is a vibrant mixture of Biblical authenticity and contemporary style which reflects in everything it does. Every endeavour is launched with the motto in mind, and evaluated on the grounds of how people are won effectively for Christ, and helped to discover the life that God has in mind for them.
Today, the congregation in Bloemfontein is the CRC flagship, with over 38 000 members. Pastor At is personally pastoring two congregations that operate as one church in two locations, namely the CRC in Bloemfontein and Pretoria. The Pretoria church has grown to a membership of over 10 000, and is continually expanding. Pastor At commutes between the two cities on a weekly basis. A data link-up for live broadcasts of church services and administrational meetings has been established and proved to be a great medium and success. Innovative and advanced for a church, it is perfectly in line with visionary modern business management in using every available avenue and technological tool, to expand operations in as many venues as possible. In September 2008 three more congregations (Durban, Cape Town & Kimberley) linked up to broadcast services from Bloemfontein to their congregations. Currently CRC Bloemfontein is Linked up live to 19 other church venue's on a Sunday, including Canada and Afghanistan, and three correctional facilities. The prison ministry is expanding every month!
Apart from being one of the fastest growing churches in Southern Africa, CRC Bloemfontein serves as the administrational hub for all the operations of CRC and is the liaison with its branch churches in Southern-Africa, Malawi, USA, UK, Ukraine and Australia (38 in total).
The media department captures and edits the services for Television, with viewers tuning in from all over the world to watch Pastor At deliver his hallmark to-the-point, relevant and inspiring messages.
The social department provides thousands of meals daily and operates a community-based education and life-skills training centre as well as an orphanage and baby house. The annual Children's Christmas Party for underprivileged children from the squatter camps around the city, draws more than 15 000 children.
Our CRC Youth minister in schools, colleges and on the University Campus.
Revival Arts, the Music and Drama department stages productions, perform regularly at events and have recorded the very successful Big God CD, and more recently the Radiation Band have brought out "With all my Heart".
The Prison Outreach and Hospital Ministry, Business and Sports impact groups. Children's Church, a Pre-school and Bible Training Facility all combine with the Pastoral Network and hundreds of interest (cell) groups all over the city, to fulfil the CRC mandate in word and deed.
People from all walks of life have made CRC their spiritual home and have found they did not merely join a church, but have become part of a family, because CRC does not only reach out to the needy through ground-breaking and innovative community projects, but also takes care of the needs of the entrepreneur, the professional, the athlete, the student, the parent, the child and every member of society.
