We're a faith community in Apple Valley, Minnesota on an adventure to to bring hope to a hurting world through a restored relationship with Jesus. Our vision is to see Christ’s restorative work transform suburban communities through the replication of Christ-centered churches, leaders and followers of Jesus. Here is a welcome message from Pastor Rob.

Our Values

Christ Centered: We believe Jesus changes everything for everyone. Since Jesus restores us to God, we can live in Christ every day in all that we do. Luke 9:23-24, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

Authentic People: We aren’t perfect people and we don’t pretend to be, so relax and be yourself and discover who Jesus really is. John 1:38-39, 14:9

Accepting Community: We do not live our faith alone; we choose community and we welcome others with grace like Jesus did. Luke 5:30-32, 19:10

Serving Humbly: The Church exists for those not yet in it, so we generously send people out to share hope in Jesus Christ through words of truth and acts of love. Mark 10:43-45, Isaiah 61:1

Affiliation

Restoration is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC). We are a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish Immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the Word of God, the gift of God's grace and ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith in Jesus Christ, the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity. Along with these values, our theology and beliefs are aligned with the core ECC Affirmations defined HERE.
