Our Story
“Our doing for Jesus flows from our being with Jesus.”
Restoration Church began with a simple conviction: at the heart of the gospel is restoration. Throughout Scripture, restoration is far more than recovering what has been lost — it is God's work of making all things new. We believe this is His heart for every person, every community, and ultimately for all creation.
Everything we do begins with Jesus. We believe the Christian life is an invitation to surrender our lives to Him, follow His teaching, and become more like Him. As Jesus teaches in John 15, we are called to remain in Him so that our lives bear lasting fruit. We exist to help people encounter Jesus, grow as His disciples, discover their God-given purpose, and participate in His mission of bringing hope and restoration to the world.
Our journey began in 2022 around a lounge room, where a small group of people gathered each week to worship, pray, share meals, and seek God together. As that community grew, it became clear that God was forming something new — a church centred on Jesus, committed to His mission, and passionate about seeing lives transformed. What began as a midweek gathering soon expanded into Sunday services, and Restoration Church was officially launched in October 2022.
From the very beginning, our heart has always been about people. Together we have supported families in need, helped fund the building of a well in Zimbabwe, and sought to create a church marked by generosity, hospitality, authentic community, and practical love. Since launching, we have seen many people come to faith in Jesus, be baptised, grow in their discipleship, and step into serving and leadership. A thriving youth community has emerged, and people of every generation continue to find a place where they can belong, grow, and flourish.
We believe the story of restoration is still unfolding. One day Jesus will make all things new and the earth will be fully restored. Until then, we are committed to faithfully living the way of Jesus — loving God, loving our neighbours, making disciples, and partnering with the Holy Spirit as He brings restoration to lives, families, our city, and the world.
