WELCOME
WHAT’S
TO OUR CHURCH
NEW
Welcome to Restoration Fellowship Int'l (RFI), where we strive to connect our members and guests to a life in Christ. We strongly believe in love, faith, and the Word.
We invite you to join us and have your own experience with God. At RFI, we pride ourselves on the ability to create a strong fellowship filled with unconditional love and support. Spend a little time with us and you will quickly see that we are actively serving God through our talents, abilities, time and resources.
CORE BELIEFS
There is one God, revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is Lord, and as God’s Son was both fully human and divine.
The entire Bible is inspired by God.
Everyone has sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.
Salvation can only be attained freely through God’s grace.
