Mission Statement


The purpose of Christian Restoration Associates (CRA), a Washington, Not-for-Profit Corporation, is to transcend what seems to us to be the tragic limitations of denominational doctrines. It is to cultivate dialogue to open the way for greater evidence of the Works of God's Spirit (the Fruit, the Gifts, and the Signs). It is founded on traditional Bible language and its Inherent meaning is to expedite the Restoration of God's Blessings "on earth as in Heaven". This is in accordance with what CRA shall prayerfully discern to be the Way, Truth, and Life of Jesus Christ.

The intent of CRA is:

  • Not to demean other religious perspectives, but to share the rationale for a better way.
  • Not to insist, but to proclaim what is perceived to be more excellent.
  • Not to convince, but to reveal our perceived Truth and allow the Spirit of God to convict those whose hearts and minds are open.
  • Not to force feed but to share.
  • Not to intimidate but to encourage.
  • Not to coerce, but to invite.
  • Not to argue. but to dialogue.
  • Not to divide but to unite.

In accomplishment of this purpose, CRA shall endeavour to distribute articles, recommend writings of others, encourage dialogue, promote classes and workshops, utilize other means of communications and implement Prayerful Routines to encourage Restoration and its Conspicuous Blessings for humankind. This, according to the Words of Jesus Christ, is the Fruit by which we perceive we are to be Known. It is not limited to the hereafter. It is for the here and now!

We seek to enhance the awareness of the Profoundity and Uniqueness of Christianity, not merely the Standards but also the Means of attaining God's Highest and Best.

  • Provide Subtle Insights as to greater depths and breadths of God's Highest and Best
  • Provide Subtle Insights as to what has been historically neglected or obscured In much of Christian theology
  • Provide Subtle Insights of opportunities for discernment of and dealing with what stands in the way of God's Highest and Best
  • Enhance understanding of opportunities and techniques to manifest greater Fruitfulness and thereby provide Tangible Witness of God's Highest and Best

Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
