Restoration Community Church

Korey and I want to update you on what God is doing in our lives these days. After months of prayer and seeking God's will and direction, we have started a new church, Restoration Community Church, to which Korey will be the pastor. We are incredibly excited and confident in God's leading in this new endeavor! Below are a few additional details. Hopefully, this gives you a glimpse into our vision for the church and also provides answers to some of the questions you may have. We’d greatly appreciate your prayers and can’t wait to share more with everyone in the very near future!

WHY
Over the last few months, we have become increasingly attune to God’s call for us to start a church. As we sought Him, and per His prompting, He clearly began opening doors that we could not dismiss. We’re looking to seize a God-given opportunity, not just try something new. And we confidently believe we're doing the former! We love the Church and believe it is the vehicle that God has ordained to spread His love and fame to the ends of the earth. Jesus Christ is the hope of the world and we can’t wait to share that with a community that we love!

WHAT
We’re currently working through things like programming specifics, non-profit status, and more. Thus, a lot is still in process. However, we already know that we’ll focus our efforts towards certain core values. Just a few of these include:

A commitment to teaching and application of the Bible.
A commitment to prayer and fasting.
A commitment to loving God and loving others.
A commitment to moving members into ongoing small groups.
A commitment to Christ-centered worship.
A commitment to marriages and families.
A commitment to developing leaders in the church.
A commitment to loving and serving our community.

WHEN
We have already begun regular weekly meetings with an initial core group of individuals and families who have shown interest in being a part of the church in its’ earliest stages. We'll most likely continue to meet in a home for our weekly meetings and hopefully be adding new folks along the way.

We’re already anticipating larger gatherings and we are ecstatic at what the Lord may do in these times dedicated to prayer, musical worship, and teaching. Hopefully, these will provide an ideal atmosphere where new people can investigate what God is doing in this new church. We’re trusting and seeking the Lord with all of the timing.

WHERE
At this time, we feel led towards the Buhl/Coker/Elrod/Holman areas. These are a few specific communities that we’re praying over as we consider possible facilities to gather in. We are blessed with a strong support network and are excited about this journey.
