Community Renewal
The goal of our Community Renewal Ministry is to bring spiritual, physical, and cultural renewal to both people and our community by using everything God has given us to show the love and grace of Christ. Our desire is to see lives and cities changed by coming in contact with the life changing love and presence of Jesus Christ. Contact Sharon Bruce at renew@restorationpo.com if you want to get involved, have any questions, or know of a need in your area.
