God created us for the purpose of relationship--both with himself and with one another. Restoration Church is therefore committed to helping people discover and grow in their relationship with God by becoming like Christ and empowering people to help their circles of influence do the same.
Core Beliefs
You will find that our doctrinal statements are purposefully generic. They get the basic point across regarding what we believe but you'll notice that we don't have publicized, church affirmed stances on many points (creation and the last things, for example). This is not because we don't have convictions or that our pastors and elders don't hold particular viewpoints but rather because these are not hills we are willing to die on. We love the diversity, under the authority of Jesus Christ, of various theological viewpoints and we recognize that we can come together in worship and community even if we disagree on various theological issues. The cores must be the cores and we will not waver on them (the universality of human sinfulness; Jesus Christ being God incarnate; His life lived free from sin; His bodily resurrection from the dead, for example) but the periphery is up for conversation--and we love these conversations at Restoration Church.
