We seek to promote faith and flourishing on individuals’ journeys of spiritual transformation. We hold honest, thoughtful, and expansive conversations about the restored gospel and how we experience it both personally and in our church communities.  We cast a wide gospel net to embrace a wide diversity of people and thought from within and outside our faith.

We sustain the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its leaders. Though an ally of the church, we exist and act as an independent organization.

Restore is a three-day gathering that brings together speakers, poets, musicians, and artists to inspire, enlighten, and nourish faith. We seek to support spiritual transformation and connection. 

• Inspiring talks
• Uplifting music
• Beautiful art
