Firelife Church was founded in Irving, TX as “The Assemblies of God Tabernacle”, in 1963, by a handful of spiritually hungry families. The passion these families lived with has spread and the church has grown and reached many people with the Gospel. Firelife Church has a deep history of prayer, revival, and the supernatural. The church has migrated, changed names, and faced challenges, but we are dedicated to serve God and honor the obedience and sacrifice of those who have gone before us. We will build a dwelling place for the Presence of God and will cultivate a house of prayer for all nations.

Revival means that His great love for us has made us alive and has set a fire in our hearts. Because we are alive, and on fire, we partner with God's purposes until earth looks like heaven.
Revival simply stated is:
He's in us for us (LIFE); He's upon us for others (FIRE).
