On November 5, 2001, C.H. Haynes Restoration Church Of God In Christ, evolved out of
a home Prayer Ministry founded by Elder Willie Jordan.The Mission of the Church is, to share the good news of the gospel,
and to restore and bring salvation to those that will receive it. Sometimes, Christians allow Satan to come in and cause
them to fall. This ministry will reach down and restore these individuals back to our Lord. This will be
done through prayer, the Word of God, and the showing forth of God's love. This ministry will reach out to the whole
man; spiritually, physically and mentally.
On November 15, 2001, The Lord moved on Pastor Jordan's
heart to secure a large storage building for the Church's home. He renovated this building, forming a sanctuary,
