We see in the Bible that a restored life begins with a restored relationship with God. That’s why Jesus came and that is our mission as a church. We’re passionate about seeing lives restored, one relationship with God at a time, where individuals who are living far from God come home to Him and discover the amazing plans He has for their lives.
A Life-Giving Church | We believe Restore Church is a place of empowerment, where individuals and families are enabled to grow strong and flourish in life. We value authentic worship, relevant and practical Bible-based teaching, and the positive change that takes place beyond Sunday morning as we develop honest friendships and share life through community.
A Missions-Driven Church | We believe that our church is a movement and that we are a part of something much bigger than ourselves. We are passionate about sharing the message of Jesus that has powerfully impacted our own lives and we are uniting together on a mission to serve our generation and to bring the life-changing message of Jesus to our city, our nation and the world.
A Generous Church | We believe that our church is here to be a blessing and we want to add value to our community by reaching out with compassion to those who are in need. We love our City and the people in it and we’re committed to using the resources God has given us to serve and bless our community and the organizations that are making a difference in our area.
“It was God personally present in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against men their trespasses but cancelling them, and committing to us the message of reconciliation, of the restoration to favor.” – 2 Corinthians 5:19 AMPC
The Bible is a restoration story that tells how Jesus came to restore our broken relationship with God and it’s through that restored relationship with God that we find total-life restoration. God restores us and He makes our lives strong so we can grow and reach others with His restoring power.
“Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.” – Galatians 6:1 NASB
The restoration that we find in Jesus affects every area of our lives. As individuals, God can restore us spiritually, mentally and physically. He can restore our dreams, our relationships, marriages and families. He can even restore us financially and in any area that may be lacking. God’s restoring power begins with us but it doesn’t end with us. His intention is for His restoration power to flow through us in order to make a difference in our world and impact our generation.
“To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.” – Isaiah 61:3
We believe that the word restore gives us a beautiful vision; a vision for what God wants to do in each of our lives and an inspiring vision concerning what’s in His heart for the people all around us, our neighbors, co-workers, family, and friends. The word restore actually means to “bring back.” When we believe in Jesus, we come home to God and we are brought back into a right relationship with Him, our Creator. We were lost through the fall of Adam, but now we have been found through our faith in Christ. We have been restored.
Listed below are additional restoration promises found in the Bible. We hope that they will help to bring more light and understanding to the meaning, mission and vision behind the name of our church, Restore Church, but more than that, we hope that they will give you renewed hope and expectation concerning what God wants to do in and through your life!
