The Restoration Team
Born out of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, The Restoration Team mobilizes volunteers and skilled laborers to repair homes for vulnerable Houston families. What began as a coalition of four Methodist churches has grown into a multi-congregation effort rooted in a simple conviction: safe, functional homes are a foundation for dignity and opportunity. This home grown mission started by our very own Tommy Stone seeks to be the Light of Christ as they engage the hands and feet of Christ.
