Restoring Relationships
Ministry is about relationships.
Restored relationships with God and others through Jesus bring us into the fullness of life.
Jesus came to seek and restore the lost. [Luke 19:10]
Empowering Reproduction
Spiritual reproduction occurs by making disciples.
We are empowered by the Spirit of God to be Jesus’ witnesses. [Acts 1:8]
Unleashing Generosity
We empower people to serve people.
God's kindness leads people to repentance. [Romans 2:4]A CHURCH OF REVOLUTIONARY LOVE that restores people to God in the context of meaningful relationships and collaborates with the community to meet people’s needs. It worships God at the gathering of the church and in everyday life lives Jesus’ mission and intentionally portrays God’s love through generosity, kindness and service.
The following by Ron Klabunde

"If Restore isn’t going to have a permanent church building, then what are you going to do with all the extra money?” This question was posed by an influential community member and friend. I imagine others may be wondering about it too.
It’s simple. By not investing in a building, we afford ourselves the opportunity to unleash kindness by meeting people’s needs in real and tangible ways. The Bible says in Romans 
2:4 that the kindness of God leads people to repentance. This just makes sense. God’s love is expressed through our generosity and kindness and leads people to a right relationship with God. We believe it is more important to put our faith in action by loving people than by building buildings.
By not investing money in a building, we avail ourselves to invest in what is eternal – people. On one occasion, Jesus’ disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.” [Luke 21:5,6 NIV] We believe there is greater value investing in what is relational, spiritual, and eternal than in what is material.
God’s resources are to be used to meet the needs of the people He loves. And through His love we live His mission by working with Jesus to restore people to a right relationship with God and others.
I must add a personal proviso or disclaimer. Some churches have mastered a means to shout out Jesus’ and His love through the use of their building. I applaud these churches.
