Life groups are all about people taking next steps - together.

We believe you can't do life alone, and that is the idea behind all of our life groups. You'll grow in your walk with Jesus around people that will support you as your group moves forward together. All people are from different walks of life, which is why we have groups available for couples, coeds, men, women, students & more!
Life is better when you live in community.

Restoration Church is a place to belong; get more information about life groups by visiting the connection center on our campus.

All Scripture is God-breathed... 2 Timothy 3:16

You can't have a close relationship with someone you never talk to - it's impossible. God wants relationship with us, and He uses the Bible as a way to communicate with us.

We call it salvation.

Everyone has an opinion about Jesus. Maybe you think He’s a great teacher or a prophet. Maybe you think He didn’t exist at all. Whatever you believe, we can probably agree that Jesus changed things. We believe He wants to change you, too.

I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. John 14:6

Jesus claimed He knew God. No big deal, right? Plenty of people make the same claim. But Jesus also said He was God. And this upset the religious leaders of His day so much that they killed Him. But that was 2,000 years ago. Why does it matter to you now? How does who Jesus is and what He’s done affect your life now in your 9 to 5, trying to take care of your kids, paying bills, or just keeping your head above water? God, the Creator of the universe, has a purpose for you and your life. He loves you and wants to help you because He is a good God. And because of that, His plans are better than your plans. You don’t have to measure up to some impossible religious standard to know Him. You just have to take a few simple steps.

If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,‘ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

You don't have to be perfect. Through His death on the cross, and then coming back from the dead, Jesus took all of your wrong and gave you all of His right. If you believe that and commit to following Him, your life will never be the same. It’s as simple as repenting of your sin, declaring you want to follow Jesus, and believing He is who He says He is. Believing in Jesus is the first step on the greatest journey of your life. You haven’t finished the race — you’ve just gotten started. The best is yet to come!

It's about going public. If you have questions, don't worry, you're not alone

Common Questions about Baptism

• What is baptism?
  It's an outward expression of an inward change. To put it simply - you showing others how Jesus changed your life.
  Being baptized shows others that you've decided to follow Jesus, and allows them to celebrate with you
  
  
• Why should I be baptized?
  Jesus instructus us to be baptized - after all, He did it too!
  
  
• When's the best time to be baptized?
  Any time is a good time! Every person who has decided & committed to follow Jesus is ready
  
  
• Do you baptize children?
  As parents, we can help point our children to Jesus, but they are the ones who decide if they will follow Him.
  At Restoration, we wait until children are old enough to express their own decision to follow Jesus & understand the meaning of baptism.
  
  
• What's the difference between immersing, sprinkling, & other ways of baptizing?
  In the Bible, baptisms were done by full immersion. The original word for baptism most often referred to being immersed or submerged in water - even Jesus was baptized this way!
  
  For us, being fully sumerged underwater is symbolic of our death to sin & the old way of life, while being raised out of the water represents the fresh start we've been given through Jesus' death, burial & resurrection !

How to win...with your money!

God's got the best way to handle every circumstance that we deal with in our lives - our finances aren't any different. When we manage our finances God's way, the results are life-changing.
What's your next financial step? Is it

• tithing?
• budgeting?
• one-on-one financial coaching?

We teach about money at Restoration, but not just tithing. We teach about how God wants people to handle their finances - because He wants everything for you, not from you!
