Church Unique

What makes Restoration Community Church Unique? We have been saying that we are doing church in a new way. What is the new way?

1. An enormous passion for spiritual formation. We do not want to play church. We will not be satisfied with just showing up and being good. We want to see people restored to he image of God! It’s fun to grow and learn and become deeper people. You have more to offer. You see more. You feel more. You can make a bigger difference in the world. We want to grow up and we will organize ourselves around this goal.

2. We feel a deep responsibility for the next generation. 70-80% of all kids stop going to church when they go to college. We can’t keep doing church the same way hoping kids will like it and want to follow Jesus the rest of their lives. That’s crazy. So we will find ways to equip parents to be the pastors their kids need. This was God’s plan going back to the beginning of time. See Deuteronomy 6 for a way to help kids grow that works. It’s the new/old way.

3. We are more like a health club than a movie theatre. I love going to movies with Kim. I love the popcorn, the previews, laughing and crying, the whole shootin match. But movies do not change me nearly as much as going to the gym. I am writing from my gym right now. This is a place where people become healthier. Yeah, you pay your dues and you suffer some, but it’s worth it. Restoration is a place where people will serve. To be the church and not just go to church we have to roll our sleeves up, hit the streets, look poverty and brokenness and loneliness in the face and seek to be a blessing to others. We want to restore the world and in the process we are restored – changed, made more like Jesus. If we act like him we will become more like him.
