Dominic and Nicole have been effectively involved in ministry to youth and young adults in the Pueblo area since 1999. They began their ministry at Praise Assembly of God, under Pastor Bobby J. Wilson. While at Praise AG, they worked as youth leaders and then in street outreach and evengelism. In 2004, they took a full time position at Cornerstone Assembly of God as the youth and young adult pastors, as well as being the directors of a new online charter school.
In the summer of 2006, they stepped out to launch a new non profit that works with the at-risk youth of the community called Ignite Mentoring. This organization included a new online charter school called the Ignite Mentoring Center, a graphic design track, a multi-media track, a mentoring program, and a photography track. Ignite Mentoring officially became the "LIFE DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE-PUEBLO" on May 1st, 2008.
During the transition, we began polishing our plans to launch a new and exciting church. Which brings us to now! The Restoration Center. A church restoring hope, restoring faith, and restoring people. A ministry that will reach out to the lost people of this city.
In order to do this, we are worked under the guidance of the ARC (Association of Related Churches). This is an awesome organization that comes alongside potential church planters to prepare them for their launch. The ARC is a catalyst for planting healthy, vibrant, life-giving churches across the country.
We are also being mentored by several awesome pastors who serve as our overseer's. These pastors include Larry Smith of the Wildwest Cowboy Church in Pueblo, Spencer Jones of Southside Worship Center in Chicago, Wayne Hanson of Summit Church in Castle Rock, Mark Apodaca of Amazing Grace Fellowship in Pueblo West and Dean Hawk of the Rock Family Church in Colorado Springs.
