Restoration House is a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), planted specifically in Brantford. While RCCG has parishes in many major cities throughout the region, Restoration House’s focus remains on serving Brantford with a unique, centralized community mission. A one-stop facility enables us to streamline resources, offer comprehensive services in one location, and foster greater community connection.

We are exploring various sites in Brantford that meet our criteria for zoning, accessibility, and long-term development potential. We will share updates on the final site once negotiations and assessments are complete.

We’re focusing on land that offers good transportation access, meets city zoning requirements, and is conveniently located for current members and the broader community. Ensuring maximum impact is our priority.

Yes. We’re currently finalizing cost estimates for:

• Land Purchase

• Site Development

• Construction

• Equipment

A detailed budget for each phase will be shared in regular updates and on our website once finalized.

While a loan is an option, it is our last resort. We are exploring a range of financing methods—such as pledges and grants—and will only pursue a loan if absolutely necessary, depending on how much we raise through the pledge campaign.

Our preliminary estimates include both construction and the essential equipment needed (for example, audio-visual systems and furniture). We’ll provide a clear breakdown of costs once the final budget is approved.

Yes. Faith-based lending institutions and grant-making organizations do exist. We are exploring these avenues to supplement our fundraising. Members are encouraged to share leads or connections to potential funding sources.

We need land zoned appropriately for religious assembly and community services—including daycare, food bank, and skill-development facilities. We are working with city officials and planning experts to ensure compliance and a smooth approval process.

Yes. We have evaluated existing structures; however, suitable buildings that align with our long-term vision are limited. While new construction may offer more flexibility, we remain open to any cost-effective option that meets our mission’s needs.

We plan to consult our national headquarters for any available support or grants. However, our main focus is on community-led fundraising and external funding sources to ensure broad engagement and sustainability.

We aim to complete initial fundraising within three months, starting immediately.

Key activities include:

• Pledge Drives Community

• Events

• Grant Applications

• Partnership Outreach

We encourage everyone to participate in and spread the word about these efforts.

Overall, we anticipate multiple phases over a 6-month to 3-year span:

Phase 1 – Land Acquisition: ~3–6 months

Phase 2 – Construction: ~12–24 months

Phase 3 – Final Fit-Out and Equipment: ~6+ months

Actual timelines may vary based on fundraising success, city approvals, and contractor availability.

We are consulting with real estate and fundraising professionals for guidance on land acquisition. We will keep the congregation and community informed about any official partnerships or collaborations.
