ABOUT
OUR VISION
We desire to be not just another church
At Restoration, we exist to restore people to the wonder of Christ, the church to the world, and the community to wholeness and healing.
OUR VALUES
What we believe serves as the foundation of our faith.
CHRIST-CENTERED
Jesus is Lord. No Jesus, no church. Our church is founded on Jesus Christ, his teachings, and the work he did to bring healing, wholeness and salvation to this world. Our songs, our messages and our actions are centered around the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
AUTHENTIC
You be you. Whether a believer or doubter, been in church all your life, out of church for a while or never been to church; whether a long time member or a first time guest, you be you. We seek to be an authentic expression and experience of Jesus Christ in this world. Our hope is that people discover their true whole selves in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.
“INCLUSIVE”
You belong here. All means all. All races, ethnicities, abilities, gender identities and orientations are welcome to participate in the life of the church and service to the world.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Not just another church. We are committed to serve the community the love of God through synergistic partnerships. We do this with organizations local to Reston and throughout the world.” (small black plain font)
