Giving back to God
When we give back to God something supernatural happens within us. When you give to Restore, it doesn't just fund the mission of helping people find their way back to God— when you give, it's an act of surrender to God. When we begin surrender the things that we hold on tight to, God transforms us. Below are some ways that you can give at Restore

Why Give to Restore Community Church?
At Restore, we believe generosity is a natural response to God’s generosity toward us. Scripture teaches that “every good and perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17), and that we are called to steward those gifts for His glory and the good of others. Giving isn’t about obligation—it’s about participation. When we give, we join God in His mission to help people find their way back to Him. Every dollar fuels life-changing ministry: helping people encounter Jesus, serving our city, supporting families, and multiplying new expressions of the church in our community and beyond.
We give because we believe in the future God is building through Restore—a future where lives are transformed, hope is restored, and our city looks more like the Kingdom of Heaven. Your generosity today is an investment in that vision and an act of worship that declares, “God, we trust You first.”
