The One-Day Steubenville Conference, Coming to You
What Is Revival?
For over 50 years, people have traveled to Steubenville, Ohio to encounter Jesus Christ through Steubenville Conferences. These gatherings have brought renewal to thousands seeking deeper faith, vibrant worship, and powerful preaching.
Revival brings the Steubenville Conference experience beyond the hill.
Instead of asking people to come to Steubenville, Revival brings a one-day Steubenville Conference event to parishes and communities across the country. In partnership with local parishes and dioceses, we seek to support the mission of bishops and pastors and foster renewal within the life of the Church.
Designed for parish communities, Revival creates space for people to step away from daily distractions for a day of dynamic preaching, inspiring worship, and Spirit-led prayer.
Throughout the day, Revival offers an uninterrupted proclamation of the Gospel and an invitation to the abundant life Jesus promises.
