The Revival Centres International(Revival Centres Church) is a Pentecostal church with its headquarters in Melbourne, Australia. In 2015 the Revival Centres International changed their name to Revival Centres Church.
The Revival Centres was established as a result of schism from the Commonwealth Revival Crusade in 1958.
The Revival Centres emphasizes the belief that "speaking in tongues" is essential to demonstrating one has received the Holy Spirit, and is therefore a saved Christian. This doctrinal position separates them from every major Pentecostal denomination with the exception of the United Pentecostal Church, which also bases its teaching on an idiosyncratic interpretation of Acts 2. The Revival Centres does not engage or affiliate with any other religious organisation.
