"And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
We believe that the message of Jesus is really, really good news. It's not just good for us, but it's also good for the people around us. Our mission is to do whatever we can to share that good news with as many people, and in as many ways, as possible. Sometimes that means telling them about Jesus. A lot of the time that means living out our Christian lives in the presence of our neighbors and friends.
We use two words to describe our mission. We want to be a church that has regional INFLUENCE and local IMPACT.
Regional INFLUENCE reminds us that every Christian is a missionary; we are ambassadors. Wherever we go, we are guided by the new way of living that is the kingdom of God. The message of Jesus is good news for our neighborhoods, our workplace, our schools, and wherever else we might find ourselves on a daily basis.
Local IMPACT reminds us that we are not just on individual missions, however; we, as a church, have a corporate mission. And that mission for Restore is to impact the town in which we gather. We want it to be really good news wherever we gather to know that Restore is a part of their community.
Right now we gather in Midland Park every Sunday at 11:00. Our hope is that one day we'll be able to plant churches like Restore in towns all across North Jersey and the Northeast.
