Our Heart

We’re a Christian Church located in Logan City and our heart is to see lives changed for the better!

At Revelation Church we’re real people, who believe in a real God, and we have a real desire for you to know Him.
Our Motto “Changing Lives That Change The World” pretty much sums it up.
This world is in darkness an only as our lights grow will the Glory of God fill the earth and change it.

With Pastor & Teacher Gary Riesenweber at the helm since 1985, Revelation is part of “Reach Out International“.
Pastor Gary has the mandate to feed the people of God with knowledge and understanding.
Therefore, Revelation Church’s focus is to impart the full counsel of God and to bring the uncompromising truth that sets us free.

Without conviction there is no challenge, without challenge there is no change, without change the world doesn’t stand a chance.

We believe in a supernatural God Who is not so concerned with our yesterdays as with our todays and our tomorrows.

So wherever you are in life, God can and desires to help you. If you haven’t yet come to know Him, He has much in store for you, and if you’ve accepted His Son Jesus as your Lord, then He longs to help you fulfill His plan for your life.

We are a friendly and loving church family, full of men, women, and children, people young and old, people from all walks of life and all kinds of backgrounds, but the thing we have in common is a love and devotion to our Savior Who sacrificed everything – simply because He loves us!

So whoever you are and wherever you’re from, we’d be glad to meet you!

Come along and have a coffee and a chat after service!

Our Church’s History

Pastor Gary Riesenweber became senior pastor of this church in 1985 after the previous pastor left to pursue his calling in England.
Believing that God had called the church to the Woodridge area, we crossed the highway and began meetings in the Woodridge Progress Hall.  Our numbers began to grow almost immediately.

At that time, because of certain events, Pastor Gary found it necessary to also pastor a church at Sunnybank which meant having Sunday mornings at Sunnybank,
Sunday afternoons at Woodridge and then back to Sunday nights at Sunnybank.

Having amalgamated the two churches, a move had to be made to larger premises at the Woodridge Senior Citizens Centre.
From there we moved to the Woodridge High School and then to our present property – a blessed 10 acres of land located here at 129 Garfield Road Berrinba (now Karawatha) in Logan City.

After finding the land we were then told it was no longer for sale. However God was keeping it for us and after speaking with the land owner he was happy to sell it to us at an excellent price.
Soon after, the council bitumened the then gravel road (another blessing).
In 1986 work began to clear the land.

1989 saw work completed on the first building, a caretakers residence and what is presently the Children’s Church.

In 1992 in October we held our first church meeting in our new main church building. We thank God for his provision in the past and for all that He has before us!

In 2020 Ps. Gary finished his race and went to be with the Lord. We’re so grateful to God for all the years we had him with us.  Ps. Leanne Riesenweber is now ‘shepherding the flock’ and as a church we are all faithfully serving the Lord with a passion to see lives changed with by the Word of God and signs and wonders! We are excited for all that God is doing!
