What is Red Cedar’s Faith Revolution all about? A “Faith Revolution” is about encountering the living God in a salvific way that changes who we are as well as the way we live. It is about learning what it truly means to “be” a Christ follower. It is about growing in our intimacy with God, community and other Believers, and influence on those yet to believe. Red Cedar’s Faith Revolution is about bringing people together who care about their future, their family’s future, their community’s future as well as the future of every person in this world. It is possible, by the power of the Holy Spirit, trusting in God, and with basic biblical knowledge to see people change as they find salvation, life, and hope in Jesus Christ. In short, Red cedar’s Faith Revolution is about knowing God and making Him known right now!
