Collaborating a Disciple-Making Movement
From the beginning Restoration Church has actively sought out partnership opportunities with a community of autonomous churches committed to fulfilling the Great Commission. It’s our belief the most effective and lasting means to seeing the church fulfill this mission is through gospel-centered collaboration focused on joining Christ in His mission to reconcile the world into His Kingdom by making, sending, and multiplying followers of Jesus Christ. This Sunday, we have the privilege to participate in making an additional step in fulfilling that call, and you are invited to be part of it.
