Addison Texas Welcomes Restoration

Following four months of preparation, the Rev. Jed Roseberry (left) and team launched Restoration Church in Addison, Texas, (north of Dallas) with an opening service on Sunday, October 18. Over 200 people, including family and friends from Christ Church Plano across the city, attended the celebration.

In order to let people in the surrounding neighborhoods know about Restoration, the launch team used tools such as a direct mail campaign to 20,000 households in the area, handed out flyers door-to-door and utilized social networking.

Jed's wife Stacy says, "Words cannot even describe the amazing ways that God brought everything together. It was a glorious morning!"

Meeting in what was once a restaurant with staging for entertainment, worshippers found places to sit atop bar stools and on cushioned booths around the perimeter of the room.

"Our unconventional worship space helps people get over any preconceived ideas they might have about church," shares Jed.

Jed kicked off the morning with the first of a series of sermons addressing questions people have about God but have not always felt comfortable asking in church. "We want to be a church that walks with people through real life issues," said Jed.
