Denomination: Presbyterian Church in America
Restoration Presbyterian Church seeks the King’s restoration of all things through our faithful presence where God has placed us. We seek to do this primarily in rich corporate worship, wholistic discipleship, genuine community, and sacrificial love for our neighbors here and around the world.
Our Mission
To seek the King's restoration of all things
Our Core Values
FAITHFUL PRESENCE
God instructed His people through the prophet Jeremiah to “Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters...multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare, you will find your welfare.” (Jer.29:5)
It is to this call we seek to respond with lives that “glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” When Christ’s reign is established in the hearts, minds, and souls of believers, in our relationships, within the tasks we are given, and our spheres of influence, God is present and glorified through our daily lives, and our neighbors are loved and flourish.
WORSHIP
We present ourselves to God as a worshipping community each week through participation in the sacraments of baptism and weekly communion, collective adoration and thanksgiving in song and prayer, faithful preaching, repentance, contemplation, devotion, and service. In these, we acknowledge there is no other God before us, and true joy and peace are found in Him alone. He is both transcendent, exalted above and Lord of all things and immanent, a loving Father that knows and cares for us.
At Restoration, we love to be together. Our worship is warm and welcoming while grounded in creeds, prayers, and confessions used by Christ’s church throughout the ages. Our musical style is rooted in hymns, psalms, and spiritual songs set to more modern/folk tunes.
DISCIPLESHIP
Jesus has commissioned His church to make disciples of all people. Disciple-making requires intentionality for equipping believers with knowledge and wisdom in the ways of Christ so that they may be fit for any calling and service to Him in all realms of life.
At Restoration, through small groups, classes, coffee together, and other means, we desire to prepare our church family to be ambassadors for the Kingdom through fruitful Christian living and effective gospel proclamation. We seek to cultivate the knowledge and application of the Scriptures leading to a deep understanding of the centrality of the Gospel in all of life.
COMMUNITY
Life together is where we experience and live out the reality of God’s Kingdom. God has created us for community. It is here where we learn forgiveness and humility, practice kindness, hospitality, and charity, grow in patience and wisdom, and become clothed in compassion, gentleness, and joy.
At Restoration, we are intentional about creating a framework whereby our people can build strong relationships that offer belonging, growth, accountability, encouragement, and ministry together, all in an atmosphere of grace.
LOVE FOR NEIGHBOR
Within both the community of believers and among those outside the church, in both our local area and around the globe, we are called to reflect our Creator and Redeemer and to proclaim His glory. Our purpose within our community is to direct our lives toward the common good and flourishing of all through sacrificial love.
At Restoration, we pursue relationships with our neighbors, whether in the locale of the church, in the neighborhoods we live, at the places we work, or among the nations, so that through our words and deeds, they might see and experience a future glimpse or “foretaste” of the restoration of all things in Christ.
