Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, ​
and to be generous and willing to share.  
​(1 Timothy 6:18)

Our 2017 generosity campaign at Restoration Christian Church provides you with an opportunity to give, serve and love others. Together we can make a difference in our community!

SERVE

True happiness comes from giving, not receiving. Volunteering and serving our friends and neighbors is a simple way to do this.  Let’s see what a difference we can make in our community!

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.  (Hebrews 6:10)

LOVE

Imagine the difference we could make if we all took a few minutes to show everyone serving our community a little love and appreciation.
