Restoration Ministries is incorporated as a non-profit 501c3 organization and as such we are governed by a Board of Directors which is instrumental in safeguarding our legal requirements, ministry distinctive and program development. The Board of Directors is involved in the oversight of our strategic decisions and alignment of ministry initiatives with our vision and mission.

Those on our Board of Reference have been invited to serve as a reference for Restoration Ministries as one willing to attest to our soundness in Christian theological thought and ministry methodology, and have agreed to have their names listed as one of our ministry references. They also have agreed to gather with our Board of Directors on a periodic basis for sharing of insight, information and ongoing discernment.

Each has been invited to serve in our ministry in this way because of their impact and influence on us and the ministry as it has developed and because of their wisdom and insight in the disciplines of Christian spiritual formation and direction ministries.
