Restoration is led by an Executive Committee selected yearly by the membership and chaired by our Pastor. The Committee’s primary role is to ensure that the vision and mission of the organization is realized through the various ministries. Each committee member either leads or acts as a liaison to one or more of the Ministry teams. In this way they are able to hold each ministry accountable to their respective goals as it relates to our mission and ensure the organization is running effectively.
