Restoration Christian Ministries

In the late 1990’s, a group of key individuals that shared a passion for dealing with the root causes that were creating problems within the local community came together with a committed focus on healthy individuals, thereby creating healthy families and marriages. Their vision was to create opportunities for families to realize personal, economic, spiritual, and social development. Operation Nehemiah-West (ON-West) was established in February 1999 under the leadership of the late Dr. Felix Gilbert before later being renamed to Restoration Christian Ministries in 2013. His experience as a homeless teenager in the Caribbean deeply impacted him and later inspired the creation of RCM. Since its founding, RCM has had a continuous presence in the community serving those in need of healthcare, housing, counseling, rental assistance, food assistance, job training, early education, childcare, and energy assistance. RCM seeks to offer economic, education, and housing opportunities for everyone, regardless of race, gender, culture, religious beliefs, or background.

Restoration Christian Ministries (RCM) is a nonprofit 501c(3) community development corporation, in partnership with Restoration Christian Fellowship. For 26 years, RCM has dedicated itself to restoring individuals to their rightful place in society, equipping them with the skills needed to overcome communal, educational, economic, recreational, and social challenges.
To achieve this mission, RCM has developed robust, dynamic programming guided by community demand and fostered strong partnerships with various community organizations to provide essential services and impactful programming.

Our Safe Outdoor Spaces program offers pallet shelter homes and safe parking spaces for individuals experiencing homelessness. These spaces provide a secure and dignified environment, offering temporary relief and support while individuals work towards more permanent housing solutions.

Our Universal Prekindergarten program ensures children in our community have access to high-quality early education. We focus on fostering a love for learning, developing essential skills, and preparing children for a successful transition to elementary school.

We provide affordable childcare solutions to support working families. Our program is designed to offer a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children. We proudly accept the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) to make childcare accessible to all.

Our After-School Youth Mentoring Programs offer a supportive space for students to receive guidance, academic help, and personal development. Our mentors are dedicated to helping youth achieve their full potential through positive role modeling and enrichment activities.
