The Restoration Center is a new non-denominational church plant that will launched on January 20th, 2008.
The Restoration Center is a vibrant, life-giving, life-restoring and
life-confirming church that is destined to make an impact on the city of Pueblo, the state of Colorado, and the entire Southwest region of the US.
This Acts 2 type of church is outreach and evangelistic based. We are a city church. One that will not only reach into one or two neighborhoods, but touch a whole city with the power of God.
What does that mean? That we will be going after the lost. The original church was called to reach the lost. A lot of them have missed the mark and strayed from their original calling. We intend to reach this city for Jesus. We feel that we are destined to make a huge impact on this city, state and region. So, please pray with us and for us as we get ready for this move. Right now, God is just perfecting and molding this vision. He is breathing life into it! It is so awesome to be a part of this.
We are not your typical or traditional church ministry. We aren't in it for the fame or fortune. Just for God, and to see Him pour out His Spirit upon a generation!
We are working under the guidance of the ARC (Association of Related Churches). This is an awesome organization that comes alongside potential church planters to prepare them for their launch. The ARC is a catalyst for planting healthy, vibrant, life-giving churches across the country.
We also have strong ties with the Assemblies of God.
We are being mentored by several awesome pastors, including...
Pastor Spencer Jones, Senior Pastor of Southside Worship Center in Chicago and has also served as an Executive Presbyter for the General Council of the Assemblies of God. Southside Worship Center is also our sponsoring church.
Wayne Hanson of Summit Church in Castle Rock
Mark Apodaca of Amazing Grace Fellowship in Pueblo West
Larry Smith of the WildWest Cowboy Church in Pueblo
and Dean Hawk of the Rock Family Church in Colorado Springs
In preparation for our launch, we began our weekly Sunday morning Restoration Center "leadership house church" in November 2006. This meeting was geared for our team and friends to come together in worship, prayer, and intercession for this great city, and to discuss our VISION. This leadership service met in different houses across the city until recently, when we launched our church in a great 12,000 square foot facility.
We will also be launching our weekly Immersion Life Groups throughout the city of Pueblo in September 2008. These Life Groups meet at a different location around Pueblo throughout the week. This small group atmosphere is used to build up our team, and to further discuss the vision of the Restoration Center. And of course, we eat, drink coffee and just fellowship. The Life Groups are for a time of bonding and to "IMMERSE" ourselves into the Word of God.
We recently launched a powerful new service called, "The Restoration Worship Project." This service, held every quarter is being used as a catalyst for unity and revival in the city of Pueblo, and potentially the entire state and region. We are seeing scores of people changed and restored by the power of God through the "Restoration Worship Project."
We also host a monthly hip hop worship service at our church in preparation for the launch of THA BRIDGE Hip Hop church later this year. This unique ministry, inspired by the Restoration Worship Project, has been effective in reaching out to young, at-risk youth throughout the entire state of Colorado. THA BRIDGE URBAN FEST, (formerly known as the RapFest of the West Urban Training Conference), one of the fastest growing Christian Hip Hop and Urban Ministry training events in the country, was birthed out of it.
THA BRIDGE, a campus of the Restoration Center, will be launching in the Fall of 2008, and will have it's own leadership team, led by a campus pastor. More details will be coming soon on this awesome new outreach to the hip hop based culture of Pueblo and Southern Colorado, including it's own Myspace page, (www.myspace.com/thabridgepueblo), and a website.

GOD DOES NOT CALL THE QUALIFIED
HE QUALIFIES THE CALLED
Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because of His great mercy He gave us new life by raising Jesus Christ from death. This fills us with a living hope, and so we look forward to possessing the rich blessings that God keeps for His people. He keeps them for you in heaven, where they cannot decay or spoil or fade away.
They are for you, who through faith are kept safe by God's power for the salvation, which is ready to be revealed [in YOU] at the end of time.
Be glad about this, even though it may now be necessary for you to be sad for a while because of the many kinds of trials you suffer.
Their PURPOSE IS to prove that your faith IS genuine. Even gold, which can be destroyed, is tested by fire; and so your faith, which is much more precious than gold, must also be tested, so that it may ENDURE. Then you will receive praise and glory and honor on the Day when Jesus Christ IS revealed [in YOU].
You love Him, although you have not seen Him, and you believe ‘in’ Him, although you do not now see Him. So you rejoice with a great and glorious joy, which words cannot express, because you are receiving the salvation of your souls, which is the PURPOSE of your faith ‘in’ Him.
God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
So be confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
