MISSION & VALUES.
WHO: Restoration Church… WHAT: To delight in the supremacy of Jesus Christ… HOW: By living in gospel-centered community… WHERE: Among the nations… WHY: For the glory of God.
A diverse group of flawed people marked by authentic relationships. We want to share life together as we strive to worship Jesus Christ with every aspect of our lives. A community of people that loves, encourages, forgives, and challenges one another to a life of faithfulness.
Joy and satisfaction are pursued everyday in our city with no lasting effects. Jesus teaches that these cravings can only be satisfied by a life that delights in Him.
The gospel not only redeems us, but it also restores us to the way life is supposed to be. We desire to bring the gospel to bear upon every aspect of life. The way we think, act, and speak is changed for good by the power of Jesus Christ.

We believe all of creation exists to display and proclaim the radiant beauty of God.
BIBLICALLYFAITHFUL GOSPELCENTERED CHRISTEXALTING COMMUNITYORIENTED MISSIONMINDED
Many people think the Bible is an outdated book with a random mix of stories and morals. We see the Bible as one story, Gods story. This story shows how our life connects to God. So we want to be biblically faithful in all that we do in order that we might love God with all of our hearts and minds.
The gospel is literally the good news that God entered the brokenness of this world in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus, being fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, died on our behalf, was buried and rose from the grave, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe. This good news opens our eyes to see the world the way God intended it to be. So the gospel does not issue a straight jacket for life, but frees us from religion into a gospel-centered way of living that finds freedom from chasing the empty promises of this world.
Our world has plenty of good teachers. Jesus is different. Jesus claimed not simply to be a good teacher but the Lord himself. To show the truth of who Jesus is, we live Christ-exalting lives. At Restoration Church we want to magnify the name of Jesus and boast only in what He has done.
The gospel creates community. It is in this community that we experience true fellowship by combining our gifts and resources to equip, encourage, admonish, and edify one another. In light of these truths the church is not a peripheral activity, nor is it program driven; rather, it is community-oriented people living life alongside each other.
The church is not a building. The church is a community of people that gather and disperse to proclaim the message that God is reconciling the world to himself in Christ. So we do not seek comfort and prosperity, but want to engage the culture and the world at large with a mission-minded focus.
