REVIVE begins April 25, 2026

The Diocese of Edmonton is once again offering the Revive program. Revive is a discipleship program offered in gratitude to active church members to help them grow in confidence as spiritual leaders.  The Revive program reflects the Inviting Witness and Purposeful Discipleship pillars of our strategic plan, which call for an empowered laity serving as equals alongside a collaborative and team-oriented clergy. It reflects our belief that all who are baptised are called to share in the mission of God through their unique ministries.

Canon Scott Sharman, strategic plan animator, says, “The content is very engaging and thought-provoking. It moves you at the level of the head, the heart, and the spirit all at the same time. The videos are really well done, and the activities and discussion questions are excellent.” The Diocese and several parishes successfully offered Revive in 2024 and 2025. Watch for participants' reflections in future Synod Scenes.

Revive participants participate in three modules:

• Communicating with God
• Engaging with Scripture
• Called for Ministry

The 2026 Revive cohort will follow a hybrid model on Tuesday evenings under the leadership of the Rev. Andreas Sigrist. You may join in person at St. Matthias (6210 188 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5T 5T4) or online on Tuesday evenings. We are pleased to be offering this program free of charge. Register now!
