Servant Leaders

"we set the table"

Teams

Special things happen through Teams.
We believe that we can accomplish more together than we can on our own. That’s because we were created to be a part of something greater than ourselves and to contribute our unique gifts for the sake of others.

One of our Core Values at Restoration Church is:
"Servant Leadership - we set the table."

Ultimately, God grows us as we serve others. All of us are invited to partner with God and others to transform our church, our city, and this world.

Through our Teams we serve a wide range of needs within the walls of the church and outside of the walls of the church. We invite everyone to Serve on a Team – check out our teams below to find your best fit!
