Restored Church

What Restored Church does

Restored Church is an independent, evangelical Christian congregation planted in 2012 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. It operates from a single physical location at 74 South Meade Street — a 160-year-old building retrofitted with modern amenities and a dedicated children's wing — and serves individuals and families in the Northeast Pennsylvania region seeking Christian worship, discipleship, and community engagement. The church is led by Lead Pastor Tim Walker and Discipleship Pastor Tim Morris, with additional staff handling mobilization, operations, kids, and youth ministry, and is governed by a three-person board of elders.

The church's product surface is structured around weekly Sunday Gatherings (75-minute worship services at 10am), small-group ministry through Community Groups meeting throughout the week in homes or online, age-segregated programming (Restored Kids for infants through age 11; Unite Youth for grades 6–12), a four-week Growth Track membership onboarding process, and a food-distribution service run in partnership with the Commission on Economic Opportunity. It also operates a structured Internship Program offering accredited bachelor's- and master's-level education across 10 ministry tracks. Technology is undifferentiated: the church uses the third-party Church Center platform for giving, registration, calendar, and mobile-app functions, and distributes sermon audio as a podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, and TuneIn. No proprietary software, no AI systems, and no patents are disclosed.

Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members and attendees, processed as one-time or recurring gifts via the Church Center online portal, mobile app, or mail. The church publishes annual financial reports and operates with externally audited, membership-approved budgets, but does not disclose revenue or budget figures publicly. There are no priced services, no grants disclosed, no investor capital, and no fundraising rounds — the organization is a 501(c)-style nonprofit under Pennsylvania law with no parent entity.
