More than a Building

“Generation after generation stands in awe of your work; each one tells stories of your mighty acts.” Psalm 145:4 The Message

Dear members and friends of Restoration,
Since the beginning when God called us to start Restoration, we firmly believed it was and still is to make Jesus central and the center of all we do, joining with him to transform communities. We watched and joined in seeing him transform our lives, our workplaces, our schools and our cities. We have baptized dozens of teens, young adults and adults, who proclaimed their faith and joined Jesus’ church. We have dedicated dozens of babies who have become elementary and middle school students!

God is still working and writing stories of new generations praising Jesus and participating in His Church and you can be part of helping write more stories.

This summer God orchestrated what we couldn’t have strategized: the purchase of a church building two miles south of County Road 42 on Cedar Avenue. We feel confident that this is the right building, in the right place, at the right time and for the right reasons.

A church building is not the goal, but it is a tool to reach and equip new generations to praise Jesus and participate in His Church.

To learn more:

• Watch Pastor Rob’s announcement from last Sunday HERE.
• Tour the building Saturday, August 27, between 9AM and 10AM.

To join in:

• Pray and participate in our building fundraising campaign HERE.
• Attend a special congregational meeting for the building purchase and the 2022-23 budget on Sunday, September 11, immediately following the 5:15 PM worship service in accordance with the church constitution and bylaws.

Thank you to all of you who have participated and partnered with us in the past and present. We look forward with hope on how you will help us into our future.

With deep gratitude and joy,
Pastor Rob

Outdoor Worship and Baptism service will be August 28, 2022 at 10am at Central Park in Rosemount, MN

Baptism is a very important spiritual milestone for a person who has come to know and love Jesus Christ. If you have felt God’s call to take this step our outdoor worship and baptism service is a great time to do that. This gives us the opportunity to celebrate with you as a church family and rejoice in this important next step.

Do you have questions about being Baptized? Pastor Rob would love to have a conversation with you! Contact Pastor Rob to start the conversation.

After the Outdoor Worship service you can set up your Lawn Chairs, Blankets and a picnic lunch for your family. Restoration will provide Lemonade, Water and Chips.
