MULTI-CULTURAL
We are a multi-racial, socially, and economically diverse, generational church. We want our church to look like our city.
"After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue; standing before the throne and before the lamb."
Revelation 7:9
COMMUNITY IMPACTING
If your church ceased to exist, would anyone know? We want to be a life-giving church that changes the atmosphere in the place God has planted us.
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need, but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech, but with actions and in truth."
1 John 3:16-18
ACTIVATED
We want to see every person using their gift so the body can be complete. Too many times, 20% of the People do 80% of the work. We believe God has called and commissioned everyone to find their place and purpose.
"He has given each one of us a special gift through the generosity of Christ. Christ Himself is the head from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love."
Ephesians 4:7, 16
AN ACTS 2 COMMUNITY
A true Acts 2 Community church is a community where you are known. We are a family who does life together.
"So, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved."
Acts 2:46-47
PURSUING GOD
We are a people defined by God's presence. It is the thing that makes us unique and set apart. We want to be a church that pursues the Presence of God.
"Then Moses said to him, 'If your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?'"
Exodus 33:15-16
ON MISSION
A church where ministry happens outside the four walls of the church. Jesus gave us the commission to go.
"He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved.'"
Mark 16:15-16
RESTORING
The heart of God has always been to bring us into a place of relationship with Him. This is really at the heart of everything we do here at Restoration Tacoma. We are all broken people in need of restoration. We serve a God who takes the broken things and puts them in a place of honor.
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him, who called you out of darkness and into His marvelous light."
1 Peter 2:9
