Our vision is to see people move from first-time guest to fully devoted follower of Jesus. We live this out in 3 areas:

| In the HOME
We will restore Jesus in the home through rest Groups and personal discipleship, calling everyone to become the person God created them to be.
• Men: We celebrate and equip men at rest Church, not to elevate them above others, but to call them up to Christlike leadership—anchored in humility, integrity, and love. We believe that when men follow Jesus wholeheartedly, their homes, churches, and communities grow stronger under their godly leadership.

• Women: We celebrate and equip women as disciples, leaders, and co-laborers in the gospel—deeply valued in the mission of Jesus. The Kingdom advances through both sons and daughters who reflect Him in their homes, workplaces, and communities. We call women to live out their God-given purpose with bold faith, gentle strength, and spiritual maturity, shaping homes, churches, and cities with the grace and truth of Christ.

• Students & Children: We celebrate and equip students & children at rest Church. We believe students & children are not the Church of tomorrow—they are part of the Church today. Each kid is uniquely designed by God with purpose, creativity, and potential to reflect Jesus. Our goal is to partner with parents to disciple their kids through biblical teaching, worship, and intentional community, helping them know, love, and follow Jesus from an early age. We love ‘boring testimonies’—the kind where kids grow up walking with Jesus, spared from the wreckage of sin because they learned early that life with Him is better than life without Him.

In every HOME, we believe men and women reflect the image of God uniquely, yet equally, for His glory and the good of others.

(Colossians 3:16-17)

| As the CHURCH
We will restore Jesus as the Church through intentional worship, events, spiritual formation, and church planting.
• Intentional Worship: We design every Sunday to help people encounter Jesus through effective expository preaching, passionate worship, and intentional moments of response. Our goal isn’t to fill a room but to form hearts—to give people space to respond to both the gospel and Jesus’ work in their lives.

• Spiritual Formation: We pursue deep discipleship by helping people grow in Christ through the Word, prayer, and community. We believe transformation happens over time as we learn to love God, love others, and live out our faith in everyday rhythms. Formation is not a class—it’s a lifestyle of becoming more like Jesus together every day.

• Events: Events create opportunities to do life together outside of Sunday morning teaching. Whether it’s a Spiritual Gifts class or Trunk or Treat, every event has one of two goals: #1 – to help someone take their next step in faith, or #2 – to reach outsiders with an on-ramp into rest Church.

• Church Planting: rest Church isn’t an end in itself. We desire to be a church that plants churches, that plants churches, that plants churches. We will resource and send out missionaries and planters, supporting the multiplication of the gospel locally and globally as part of our DNA.


As the Church lives on mission, our impact doesn’t end at our doors. The love of Jesus compels us to move beyond our gatherings and into the places where people live, work, and hurt.

(Acts 2:42–47; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 10:24–25)

| With the CITY
We will restore Jesus with the City through local and global partnerships.
• Local partnerships: We don’t reinvent the wheel but partner with local non-profits and ministries through service and financial support. This also includes other churches—we recognize rest isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. Our goal is to help plug people into a local church, even if not ours.

• Global partnerships: Currently this includes Wycliffe Bible Translators, translating Scripture worldwide. See more at: https://wycliffe.org/


(Jeremiah 29:7; Matthew 25:35–40)

In the Home, as the Church, and with the City forms our discipleship process, moving people from simply knowing Jesus to becoming fully devoted followers—disciples that make disciples, who make disciples, who make disciples.

(Matthew 4:19; 2 Timothy 2:2)
