Hosanna Restoration Church

Hosanna Restoration Church is a small church with a family atmosphere. It began nearly twenty years ago as a home bible study. I guess you could say that praise built the church since it was as praise and worship grew that love for the Lord grew as well. Our services include lots of singing and praising and even shouting in our desire to glorify God. We have used NICH as an acronym to describe the church. We are Nondenomin-ational, Interdependent, Charismatic, and Hungry for the Lord. By nondenominational we simply mean that we are not attached to a large governmental sort of church organization. By interdependent we feel that we are a part of all the people in all the churches who love Lord and our doors are open to all who like to come and visit but they need not feel that they have to join. In fact, we do not sign member cards. We like to say that you can only be a visitor once and then you are part of the family whether you attend all the time or not. We are charismatic, in that we believe in the giftings and operation of the Holy Spirit in all believers accord-ing to 2 Corinthian, Chapter 12. The hungry is self-explanatory. We feel that one can never get enough of the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Back to the beginnings: After the fellowship changed from a home church we rented a facility for services. After a few years of that it was decided that we should build the building that we are now in. We are happy to say that it was built debt free. This has helped to enable us to support many missions and missionaries around the world. For more than ten years we have been involved in an outreach to Russia where 3 thriving and vibrant churches have come as a result of God's blessing on the project.

Locally, we desire to be a help and an encouragement to the community. We want to reach out to all who need no matter whether they are a part of our church family or not. We welcome anyone to call or come in any time. God loves you and so do we.

As for doctrine, we simply choose to follow the Bible as best we can. It is the perfect word of God. We believe that God is still doing miracles and speaking to people. We believe that every gift is available to every believer and that every believer is called to serve the Lord in every walk of life. Jesus said to make disciples and we believe that everyone should desire a closer walk with Him. The call is not just to a few, but to all who love Him.

One more unique thing about Hosanna is that we do not pass an offering plate. There is a basket if anyone wants to give, but you will never be handed a plate and asked to do so. The Lord loves a cheerful giver and we believe that you cannot out give God, but we never ask we simply provide the opportunity as the Lord leads you to give.

So if you do not have a church home we invite you to come. If you do have a church home but would like to join us for a time of exuberant worship please stop in. If you need encouragement, prayer or help of any kind, just call or come by. Hope to see you soon.
