OUR VISION
We are a people called by God to be agents of reconciliation for the Lord Jesus Christ. We do this by reclaiming the lost, rekindling our worship, revitalizing our communities, and renewing and restoring relationships
RECLAIM THE LOST
Luke 15:4 tells us, “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? We are called to restore those who have been lost to the world as a result of life, trials, or anything that could pull us from a relationship with God and others. Luke 15:7 lets us know that there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
REKINDLE OUR WORSHIP
What is the whole duty of Man? To glorify God and enjoy His presence forever! Restored Life Bible Church has been called to help raise a community of worshippers whose corporate expression glorifies God and invokes His presence into their lives.
REVITALIZING OUR COMMUNITIES
Genesis 28:3 tells us that we are blessed by God Almighty to be fruitful and productive so that we become a community of people. However, in order to fulfill God’s purpose in this body of believers, we must be trained to restore others. Ephesians 4:11-12 advises that God has given us gifts that are “For the equipping of saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ.” Restored Life Bible Church emphasizes the training of leaders who are equipped to minister restoration to the Body of Christ. Knowing and doing this begins with the lifestyle you lead and your commitment to purposely walk with Him.
RENEWING AND RESTORING RELATIONSHIPS
Restored Life Bible Church seeks to strengthen the basic unit of the church through healthy and wholesome family relationships; to help in building and restore families that exemplify Christ in the earth.
