Something incredible happens in the seemingly mundane act of sharing food and drink with other people. Barriers come down. Friendship begins. Lives Change. Eating and drinking together is part of every gathering at Restore. Biblically, it’s known as Communion. If you hang out with us, there will be tasty food, great drinks, and lively conversation. Common Meal is our launch pad into a new depth of living.

Every human being is hardwired to be a difference maker, but the world teaches us that happens in big, extravagant, and attention grabbing ways. Jesus taught that true power and impact comes in giving it away in quiet, subversive, and unselfish ways. Missional living isn’t flashy or headline grabbing. It’s not a long build up to a mountain top moment. It’s living and believing that every second of the day has the potential to be restored. Jesus’s miracles of restoration were never scripted or project-managed. He simple responded to the needs in front of Him with the resources He had available, whether it was washing His disciples feet or using a young boy’s fish and loaves to feed thousands. 

The Bible is not a rule book, instruction manual, or science book. The Bible is a perfect story about Jesus. We strive to live like Jesus Christ. His story, His politics, and His legacy are what we follow.
