melissa maskaHello, I’m Melissa Maska. I am married to Adam, and we have 4 children; ages 18, 17, 8 and 5 years old. My family started attending Restore Church almost 2 years ago. My life has been transformed with this ministry. My faith is deeper and I am blessed by the relationships developed through Gospel Communities and discipleship. I serve as a leader for the Foster Closet, a WRAP team, and the KidsMin Check-in team. I’d love the opportunity to be on the board because I see God moving in our church and being a light to our community, and I want to continue to be a part of that! God is so good, and I’m thankful I get to worship and serve Him with you.

josiah hornerHello, I’m Josiah Horner. I currently serve as the tech leader but also serve on the finance committee and as one of puggle teachers for Awana. I’ve been attending Restore for about 3 and a half years now and thoroughly enjoy it. I love seeing the community throughout this church and I’ve made many lifelong friends. I’ve seen amazing growth even in the short time I’ve been attending. In my day job, I work as the quality manager at Vishay.
I want to serve on the board because I honestly love serving in any way possible. I’ve also seen the impact this church has had on the community and want to be more a part of it. I'm research orientated and detailed focused which I believe will provide valuable input to board decisions. I'm all for promoting this church and seeing it grow to see all people loving Jesus and being fully surrendered to Him. |
leah biornMy name is Leah Biorn and I currently serve as the Secretary of the Restore Board of Deacons. I have served in this role since January 2024. Our family has been attending Restore for 4 years. In addition to serving on the Board, I Direct Restore WRAP Ministry which consists of WRAP teams who support local foster families as well as the Restore Foster Closet.

If chosen for the Board, I commit to being a united member of the Board. I commit to living a life that is honorable. I commit to protecting the culture and reputation of Restore Church. And I commit to our Mission to lead everyone to love Jesus and live fully surrendered to Him. |
michael jensenHello Restore Church, I am Michael Jensen and I currently serve as Treasurer on the Restore Board of Deacons. When I am not involved in Board related issues you can find me behind the scenes serving as your Maintenance Director along with my team to take care of issues that come up around the Church properties. You'll also find me involved in 2 discipleships and as an Awana Sparks Teacher on Wednesday nights!
If you see me not serving the Church or working at Mead Lumber, I most enjoy my family time, hanging with my kids and beautiful wife Bree - I love Golfing, Fishing, Hunting, and Wood Crafts in my garage. Although it seems these days the last 4 items don't get a lot of attention I love serving at Restore and leading people to Love Jesus and Live Fully Surrendered to Him. Why do I want to be on the Board? After serving on the board for a little over 2 years I really enjoy getting a behind the scenes look at how we as Restore operate. I believe in our Mission and feel like my input in the meetings is meaningful and helpful toward our Mission. I feel I bring a level head and a different perspective that others may not see. I love Restore Church and I found my Faith Family and have grown many great relationships in the 5 years here and look forward to the next 50!! Thank You for your consideration, Your Brother in Christ, Michael Jensen |
