MEET THE RESTORATION CHURCH STAFF!
JT Holderman
lead pastor
"One of my greatest joys is being married to my camp sweetheart, Kimberly, and the fun we have daily with raising our three gifts from the Lord, Sophia, Cora, and Jasper. I served for a decade as a Pastor in Pennsylvania before coming to Restoration. I have a Th.M. in Homiletics from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and a M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary. I enjoy all things woodworking, board gaming, hiking, golfing, and gardening. If you would like to learn more or read any of my articles and publications, it can be found at www.jtholderman.com."
Bill Moore
Discipleship Pastor
"My life is enriched by being a husband to Kristen and father to Gabriella and Vivienne. I grew up in Houston, Texas, spent a decade in North Carolina, and three years in Vancouver, BC, before landing here, in my wife’s home state. I really enjoy traveling, but being rooted even more. I also love being outside with a purpose, such as hunting, fishing, hiking, or grilling."
Kristen Moore
CHILDREN'S DIRECTOR
"I grew up in Virginia, and am so delighted for my family to be back here! I discovered my love for God and his Word at a very young age, and am convinced children of all ages can have vital and joyful relationships with God. I delight in teaching the Word of God, praying that others will be caught up in God's grand unfolding story of redemption. I love laughing, drinking coffee, playing games, reading, any kind of celebration, and going on adventures with my family."
