Christ is King, and it is our joyful duty to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). In an age of compromise, we seek to hold the line with biblical teaching and fellowship. Families worship together, our elders teach the Word, and everyone sings loud.
The singular mission of the Church is to make disciples. Sadly, most modern Christians have never been discipled, nor have they ever discipled another person. Restoration sees this as a serious problem, so we have placed obedience to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) as a high priority. Don't know how to disciple someone? We will equip you!
We place a high value on gathering together on the Lord’s Day in obedience to God’s command (Hebrews 10:23-25). Teaching, worship, and fellowship are not only a joyful blessing that builds our faith in Christ, but singing and hearing the Word of God taught as we partake of the ordinances of the Church is a warfare against our Enemy that has a direct effect on the advancement of God’s Kingdom.
We wanted to provide advanced training in Bible study methods, theology, apologetics, evangelism, discipleship, house church planting and facilitation, practical ministry, and more. So, we created Underground Seminary. It is a FREE to everyone in our church, and it is designed to give you better-than-seminary equipping in the form of graduate level study.
Our Church
We make disciples, gather together, and equip the saints. We don’t have a lot of programming, because every member is about the work of spreading the Gospel, but we eat a meal at every gathering, and we are seeing God’s Kingdom advance.
What We Believe
Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone for the glory of God alone according to Scripture alone.
Critical Theory in various forms has made its way into the dominant thought of western culture and sadly into much of the “evangelical church.” We live in a season in which “social justice” is esteemed over biblical justice and in which man’s feelings are valued over God’s commands. At the root of all of this is man’s rebellion against God (Romans 1:18ff).
Specifically, the atheistic theories of Marxism reformulated into social (rather than economic) terms has infused itself into culture. This system of thought propagated by Antonio Gramsci and the Frankfurt school seeks to overthrow the “hegemony” of Christendom. It’s tool for destruction is Critical Theory which exists for the expressed purpose of causing division. It sees all relationships through the lens of oppressor/oppressed and attacks “systems” of injustice rather than individual sin. It denies objective truth and implements deconstruction (a la Jaques Derrida) as a means of denying that which is plainly true. It denies the Law of God, and esteems the feelings of the “oppressed” as the authority on morality.
Restoration Church will meet at 4:30 pm Christmas Eve (Dec. 24, 2025) at Paper Moon Vineyards (2008 State Road Vermillion, OH) to pray, sing carols, and hear a brief message from Scripture. Join us as we worship the King of Kings.
This short letter written by Paul to a Christian slave owner urging him to release his slave (Onessimus) is a practical example of how the gospel dissolves the societal problems caused by sin. As such, it provides believers with a model of how to redeem culture through evangelism and discipleship. Pastor Dan walks us through this short and often overlooked epistle (When was the last time you heard. sermon on Philemon?).
