Justin Gingrich

Justin is the founding and lead pastor of Restore. He started Restore because he believes that a church where you can be fully known and entirely loved will change your life forever. His greatest joy is helping people discover the warmth and affection Jesus has for them. Justin's vision for Restore is to be a haven for those who need rest from the hate and division around them. He hopes Restore can be a safe space to reclaim our humanity in Christ together again.
