Our Mission & Values
Our Mission
Restoration Church exists to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ, who make disciples of all the nations.
Our Core Values
God
The Triune God is glorious and his Word powerful.
Isaiah 40:6-8
In contrast to a worldly culture that exalts human strength, achievement and power:
We have a high view of God and his Word as our authority
We treasure God as our ultimate satisfaction
We live out of joyful union with him
Gospel
The Gospel is God’s demonstration of his love for the world.
1 Corinthians 1:18-31
In contrast to a worldly culture that promotes achievement, self-help, and grasping after wealth:
We live with humility, because Christ became a servant for all
We will never outgrow our need for Spirit-empowered transformation by the gospel
We live as faithful stewards of the vast resources given to us in Christ
Mission
In our union with Jesus his mission becomes ours.
Matthew 28:18-20
In contrast to a worldly culture that idealizes self-improvement and personal advancement, we will pursue God’s mission as co-laborers:
We live a life of radical, intentional discipleship of our neighbors, networks, and the nations
We eagerly desire to send our best to the farthest reaches of the world
We strive for excellence in all we do as witnesses to the watching world
People
People’s transformation for God’s glory.
Eph. 2:1-10
In contrast to a worldly culture that values getting stuff done, building platforms, and budgets:
We pursue connection and loving community
We build up families as a godly institution for human flourishing
We, as God’s family, embrace widows, singles, the broken, and the marginalized
Prayer
Without God we can do nothing.
John 15:5
In contrast to a worldly culture that depends on strategies, resources, and influence:
We live with radical dependence on God
We pray expectantly, to see God’s power on display
We seek intimacy with God
