Our Story

A church for this season.

The Revival Center is a new church planting in Marlin, Texas — built for people who are looking for something real, not something rehearsed. We're here for the seekers, the skeptics, the seasoned, and everyone in between.

What We Believe

Three things, simply.

Jesus is at the center.

Everything we do — every service, every conversation, every outreach — points back to Jesus. He's not a topic among many. He's the one who changes everything.

The Word still speaks.

The Bible isn't an artifact. It's a living text. We teach it plainly, take it seriously, and let it disrupt our assumptions when it needs to.

Real people, real life.

We're not pretending. We've all got history, questions, and seasons we're walking through. Church is where we bring those — not where we hide them.

The Founders

Minister Slugger

Lead Pastor

George Stricklin, affectionately known as Minister Slugger, is a servant of God with a heart for leading others to spiritual freedom and purpose. With a testimony rooted in redemption, Slugger’s life exemplifies the transformative power of grace. He passionately shares the Word of God, inspiring individuals to walk boldly in their faith and trust God’s plan for their lives. His ministry is built on speaking life into those who feel defeated, offering hope to the hopeless, and reminding people of their God-given potential. Minister Slugger’s mission is clear: to guide others to spiritual alignment, equipping them to thrive in every area of their lives for the glory of God.

Mrs. Linnette Stricklin
