What We Believe

God has called us to be a community of committed, life-giving relationships of friendship, nurture, grace, and accountability.

Core Beliefs

There is one true God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1,

Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).

Jesus is all God and all man

We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33); His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:34-35); His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, 7:26); His miracles (John 2:11); His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9); His resurrection (John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4); His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); His personal return to earth in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11-16).

Holy Spirit is God.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life

(Romans 8:13-14, I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30; 5:18).

All men are sinners in need of salvation.

We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of the human nature, and that all are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ, and that only by God's grace through faith alone are we saved (John 3:16-19; 5:24, Romans 3:23; 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5).

Jesus lived a perfect life, died, and resurrected to save us from our sins.

We need to learn to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.

We believe in the spiritual unity of the believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28; Deuteronomyv4:6,7).

We learn to obey and go tell -at home, across the street, across the sea.

We believe it is the mandate of the whole Church to go into the whole world and to preach the Gospel to every living creature. (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19-20)

God has given the Bible so that we can live Godly lives.

We believe that we as Christians are examples of the love of God in this world. It is this (agape) love that we desire to possess and without which we have no right to call ourselves Christians (1 John 4:16-17, 1Peter 1:3).

Jesus is coming back again to rule and reign.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are not unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29). Those who are saved will be caught up with Christ at His coming. Those who are resurrected will return with Christ to rule and reign on the earth. 1 Thessalonians 3: 13, 4:19; Jude 1:14, Revelation 19:11-16)

History of Restored Church

Established in 1982.

Originally known as Hopewell Mennonite Church, the congregation began as a small Bible study led by Ken Kirk. As the group grew, a new permanent place of worship was needed. Pastor Ken prayed and the Lord gave him a vision of a stream of water and a tree inside a building. Meanwhile, a struggling church put an unfinished sanctuary up for sale after abandoning its building campaign. A stream flowed through the front of the sanctuary, with a tree growing in its center!

The small congregation faced competition from a millionaire developer with plans to turn the building into a health spa. With only faith and prayer, Pastor Ken and several members appeared before a judge to plead their case. God intervened when the developer unexpectedly passed away the night before the hearing. The judge awarded the building at 1130 Commerce Drive to Hopewell Mennonite Church. Today, the congregation is known as Restored Church and is pastored by Bruce Mulberry, affectionately called PBAM.
