About Restoration:
Pastor Dexter Howard began Restoration under the name of Life Harvester Church in November of 1998 with his wife and 15 others in the home of Mike and Marcheita Anderson. Restoration was founded to declare one simple message to people: no matter who you are or what you have done, God loves you and has a plan for your life. You can begin again.
This dynamic message of restoration, led by the power of the Holy Spirit, caused numbers to grow, and the church moved from the Anderson household to the Fayetteville Clarion Inn, then to a small storefront building, and finally to a large warehouse on Government Street in South Fayetteville. This warehouse is our current location and has been converted into a beautiful worship facility.
Guided by compassion for the hurting, Restoration seeks ways to meet both the spiritual and practical needs of people in creative ways, such as the Back-2-School Block Party which has served over 7,000 families and is now a staple in Northwest Arkansas. We are people on the move, and we invite you to come join us and be a part of the family and work of God!
Our Mission: We are a church that reaches out to all people to strengthen their relationship with Christ and to restore their lives to one of purpose, power, passion, and dominion.
Our Vision: Our vision is to take Restoration to the world — establishing Restoration Worship Centers throughout communities in the U.S. and abroad.
