revival meetings
Faith awakening assemblies
Revival meetings are religious gatherings, typically Protestant, aimed at renewing faith and winning converts through emotional preaching and communal worship.
They emerged in American frontier Christianity and remain associated with evangelical traditions: The tent revival meetings drew hundreds from surrounding counties.
The format emphasizes personal salvation experiences and public declarations of faith.
