OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM

AARON KELSO

Lead Minister

aaron@restorechristianchurch.org

My name is Aaron! I'm originally from Alhambra, IL. After graduating from Highland High School, I attended Saint Louis Christian College where I received a Bachelors in Behavior Ministry (Christian Counseling) and Biblical Studies. For two and a half years following my time in college, I served as the lead minister of Palmyra Christian Church. While there, I married my high school sweetheart Allison and was approached by Ignite Church Planters about an opportunity to start a new Christian church in my home community of Highland. Feeling the Lord's call, Allison and I have embarked on a journey to form the community that is Restore!

JOSIAH MOHR
Associate Minister

josiah@restorechristianchurch.org

My name is Josiah! I'm originally from Orfordville, WI and moved to southern Illinois to attend Greenville University in 2015. After graduating in 2019 with Bachelor Degrees in Ministry and Business Management, I have been continuing my education at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary working toward a Masters in Public Ministry. Following God's direction while searching for a new church home in 2021, I found my way to Restore and have now been blessed with an invitation to join God's ministry in Highland and the surrounding communities. I hope that you too will join us, for it is exciting to see the way that God is moving through this church family and in this community!

Cassidy Jones

Worship Minister

cassidy@restorechristianchurch.org

My name is Cassidy! I’m from Vandalia, IL and currently studying Elementary Education at Greenville University. I was raised as a worship pastor’s daughter and I’ve always had a heart for worship. I’ve been involved in worship teams since I was a preteen and began leading children’s music at sixteen. The Lord has placed a love in my heart for worship and I feel extremely blessed to be able to lead with and share that heart with those that make up the congregation of Restore!
