Large Group: 6:25 – 7:00 PM

Restoration Night is a safe, welcoming community of people coming together to face their hurts, habits and hang-ups head-on.
Restoration Night begins with a large group gathering at 6:25 PM in the Real Life Auditorium. This typically includes a time of worship and a short message or testimony. On the first Thursday of each month we also celebrate with a Chip Party, handing out milestone chips to mark periods of sobriety or victory in areas people are working on.
After large group, small groups and classes begin at 7:15 PM. These classes vary each quarter, but typically include The Celebrate Recovery Step Study, a handful of groups focused on specific books or curriculums such as DivorceCare or Boundaries, a newcomer’s class, and men’s and women’s mixed-issues groups.
Restoration Night is not counseling, but a place of acceptance as you work through your struggles with honesty. You will find others who are working through a variety of issues, including:
During Restoration Night, we also offer accompanying programs for children and students.
Restoration Kids is open for infants through fifth grade. Check-in begins at 6:15 PM.
Restoration Youth is open to students in grades 6–12. No registration is required.
Restoration Night follows a quarterly schedule, with new classes beginning every January, April, July, and October. Open classes for Fall 2023 are listed below.
If you are joining mid-quarter, you are welcome to drop into one of the following groups anytime:
Newcomer’s Class: An opportunity for first-timers to learn more about Restoration Night and ask questions.
Mixed Issues: Safe, men’s- and women’s-specific groups to share what you are dealing with and find community. Come weekly as you are able, with no homework and no commitments.
Resolving Everyday Conflict: A video course by Peacemaker Ministries teaching the basics of conflict resolution. This group is open to anyone, with no homework required.
If you need childcare while attending one of these drop-in groups, please pre-register your children here:
This quarter we are also offering a marriage class on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM, starting October 1.
Love & War is an eight-week video-based class from John and Stasi Eldredge, facilitated by Ian & Monica Elliott and John & Kelly Forney.
John and Stasi begin Love & War with an obvious confession: Marriage is fabulously hard. But beneath and behind the inevitable tensions a man and woman “locked in the same submarine” are going to have, the real battle is against the work of the Enemy, who plots and schemes to tear love apart. The Eldredges show how couples can win “by fighting for each other, instead of against each other.”
Open classes are listed below.
