Jonathan and his wife, Stephani, moved to Bryan in the fall of 2013 to plant RCB. The vision had been birthed in North Houston to build a diverse church devoted to relational discipleship in the heart of Downtown Bryan. Jonathan's primary roles at RCB are preaching, leadership development and discipleship, outreach and keeping the vision in front of the church.

Jonathan has been married to his high school sweetheart, Stephani, for 17 years, and they have four incredible boys and a beautiful little girl. He loves all things sports, but especially basketball. Jonathan and Stephani both love to be active, and if they're not wrangling kiddos they're working out or working up their appetite for the next meal (lots of food consumed in a household of 5 dudes!). The Brooks have a passion for families and for helping others grow in their love for and walk with Jesus.

Matt moved to Bryan/ College Station in the fall of 2013 to start his freshman year at Texas A&M University. Searching for a church that would push him to grow in his faith, he found Restoration and began meeting in the home of Jonathan and Stephani Brooks in late September of that year. Having the opportunity to not only be surrounded by men and women of all ages but also discipled by older men from the beginning of his college career helped Matt establish a firm foundation in Christ.

Upon graduation in December of 2016, Matt came on full time at Restoration, and then in September 2017, Matt married the love of his life, Hannah! As he continues to thrive in discipleship and missional roles at RCB, Matt's hope is to see men and women raised up as strong disciple makers– some of who may respond to the call to make disciples of the unreached around the world! 

Cedric plans to continue to use his gifts to lead worship in the local church and raise up Gospel-Centered worship leaders; he also hopes to use his degree to help with community development. Cedric joined Restoration in January 2019 to help continue to lead us toward our vision of being a gospel-centered, diverse, disciple-making local church body.

Tori officially came on board as RCB Children's Coordinator in August 2017 and is thrilled to get to serve the kids and families at Restoration Church Bryan.  She grew up in Mission, Texas as one of three girls in a family of five and graduated Texas A&M in 2013.

Upon graduating, Tori taught at Arrow Academy in Bryan for three and a half years. She has always loved working with and mentoring kids from the B/CS community in her spare time. In October 2017, Tori tied the knot with Kaleb Allison (one of RCB's deacons!). In July 2020, they welcomed baby girl, Selah! 

Haley wants every kid who walks in on Sunday morning to have heard the Gospel, know that they are prayed for, and to see how to study God’s Word. Her hope is that each child will be a lifelong follower of Christ that looks different than the rest of the world. She is passionate about coming alongside parents as they disciple their kids to know and serve Christ all of their days.

She graduated from Texas A&M in 2013 and married her high school sweetheart, Zack in January 2014. They have two kids, Rollie and Davy Jane and a whole lot of chickens.  

Ben started attending RCB in 2016 as a sophomore at Texas A&M. He was blessed by the men who invested in him during this pivotal time in his early faith, and is passionate about seeing college men continue to be built up and sent out by the community at this church.
He married his beautiful wife Kirsten after they both graduated in 2019. They spent the last three years serving at a summer camp, and loved their time doing ministry alongside one another. Ben joined the RCB staff in September of 2022 and they are grateful to get to continue to serve college students together. 

Olivia works alongside Ben in overseeing our college missional community groups, meets with college girls throughout the week, and plans college events like our College Retreat, Ezer, and college worship night. She also schedules our Sunday morning volunteers, which she insists is one of her favorite pastimes.

Olivia began attending Restoration while studying at Texas A&M University in the Spring of 2017 before coming on staff in April of 2020. She says that through RCB, the Lord gave her an unprecedented hunger for His Word and a real concept of what biblical community looks like.

In October of 2020, Olivia married her best friend, Jack, who she just happened to meet in a Restoration small group! In her free time, she likes watching  movies, taking afternoon naps, and going on day trips to surrounding cities! 

Nick moved to College Station in the Fall of 2015 and, desiring gospel-centered community, began attending Restoration in the Fall of 2017. Through serving in various ministries, the Lord began to develop within Nick a desire to see the next generation of disciple-makers raised up within the Bryan/College Station area. After working in town for a couple of years post-grad, Nick transitioned onto RCB staff in May 2022.

As a student at Texas A&M, Lily desired to be a part of a church that was driven by the Gospel to strengthen its members through Christ-centered discipleship and community. This led her to Restoration where she began attending and joined in 2018. After graduating in May of 2021, Lily joined the staff where she is excited to continue serving alongside the church body to reach those in Bryan, College Station, and beyond.

On August 5th of 2022, Lily Mae married Grayson Casey the love of her life and greatest gift to her next to her salvation in Christ. She met Grayson while serving on Restorations' worship team! 

Jacob serves the church by helping with the logistics of events, leading our Road Crew serve team, and helping keep our facilities operating smoothly. Jacob had not yet moved to the Bryan-College Station area to start college in the Fall of 2016 when several brothers in Christ from back home were already beckoning and urging him to come check out Restoration. Becoming a covenant member that same year, he has served faithfully with the church in various capacities since then! Jacob loves dogs and food, but will talk your ear off regardless of the topic.
