​WHAT IS RESTORATION 117?​

In 2008, having a clear call from God and hearts full of love for this city, Pastor Harry and his wife, Lina, launched Restoration Christian Church or also known as Restoration 117 here in Arcadia, CA. ​​

The name of Restoration 117 came from the gospel of Luke 1:17. It says, “. . . To turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

​It is our desires to see a great restoration for this nation and it all starts with each family being healed through the love of Christ.

OUR VALUE

Our core values bring clarity to the things that matter most at Restoration 117. They guide how we achieve our mission and keep us focused on our calling as a local church.

EXCELLENCE​

23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.​
Colossians 3:23-24

COMPASSION

36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.​
Matthew 9:36

INTEGRITY​

9 He who walks with integrity walks securely,
But he who perverts his ways will become known.​
Proverbs 10:9

MATURITY

1 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits.
​Hebrews 6:1-3

WHAT WE BELIEVE​​

  1. We believe that all scriptures (the old and new testament) is inspired by the Holy Spirit, accepted as absolute, as it was originally given.  II Timothy 3:16; I Corinthians 2:13.
  2. We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible.  Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13-14.
  3. We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness.  Romans 5:12, 18.
  4. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man.  Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:16.
  5. We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples.  I Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25.
  6. We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation and personal, literal and bodily coming again the second time for the Church.  John 14:2-3; I Thessalonians 4:13-18.
  7. We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins.  Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12; Romans 5:11.
  8. We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of Christ.  Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6.
  9. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation, with the Scriptural evidence; namely, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.  Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14-15.
  10. We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in I Corinthians 12-14, as manifested in the Early Church.
  11. We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith.  Ephesians 5:18; II Corinthians 6:14; 7:1.
  12. We believe in the healing of the body by Divine Power, or Divine healing in its varied aspects as practiced in the Early Church.  Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; I Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14.
  13. We believe in the local church as a place where believers gather together for edification, teaching from the Word of God, and ministry to and through each other according to their spiritual gift. The local church provides identity to its members as well as encouragement, interdependence, fellowship, correction and discipline.
  14. We believe that there is one true universal Church, made up of genuine believers, but this one universal Church is also composed of many local Churches in given localities. These Churches are under the sovereign headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, exercising autonomous government under Him, administering all its local affairs and ministry, as well as the propagation of the gospel. (Acts 15:22; Matthew 16:18; 18:15-20).
