Restoration Christian Fellowship was established in February of 1999 in the home of Pastor Felix and Kotane Gilbert. There were approximately 20 charter members at that planning meeting. These same individuals served as the core and helped in getting the ministry established.

The first service was held on February 21, 1999 at West Middle School in Aurora CO, with 60 people in attendance.From the humble beginnings of their home, to the Middle School, a rundown office building in downtown Aurora, in the heart of Colfax, and now to their current location of 15640 E. 6th Avenue in Aurora, Colorado, God has remained faithful to the vision he gave the Gilberts since the beginning of the ministry in 1999. The church has grown tremendously since its inception and humble beginnings. Currently Restoration is in process of securing the entire Centre Tech shopping center where they are located. God has given them a plan to completely develop the center into a ministry complex where they can minister to the holistic needs of the community.

God has given pastors Felix and Kotane a heart for the nations. Their dream was always to pastor a multicultural church that ministers holistically to the body of Christ; and to restore people to their rightful position in Christ. Restoration is a house of healing and there have been thousands of people who have been touched and healed through this ministry.

During the years of its existence, Restoration Christian Fellowship has maintained its vision by being active in the community, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and providing for the felt needs of the residents of the community. Restoration is networked with other ministries throughout the metro Denver area. Currently Restoration has a Community development corporation named Operation Nehemiah. Through Operation Nehemiah, Restoration has been able receive state funds to provide after school programming to assist in the development of those students in need of tutoring, and mentoring, as well as provided computer literacy skills to students of the community. Every summer Operation Nehemiah sponsors a summer enrichment program which provides an outlet for children in the community, as well as provides mentoring for those single mothers struggling to raise a family.

Since its inception, Restoration has become a truly multicultural church where people of all colors, races, and nationality can come together as the Body of Christ and worship God.
