Get to Know Local Partner: Faithfully Restored

Posted on February 9, 2026

My name is Kristi Gauntlett, and I am the Community Champion for Faithfully Restored. Faithfully Restored is a local nonprofit co-founded by three members of Fellowship Bible Church. Their mission is to pray for, encourage, and support women walking through difficult situations, reminding them that there is always hope in Jesus.

When I moved here four years ago, I somehow found myself volunteering at the Faithfully Restored offices in Franklin alongside my daughter. Together, we curated care packages, wrote encouraging notes, and prayed over the women we served. Over the years, my involvement has continued through volunteering, attending events, and seeing Faithfully Restored support women in my circles. I am deeply grateful for the community and relationships I’ve gained through connecting with the women of Faithfully Restored.

My husband and I also feel called to support Faithfully Restored financially. Giving to this ministry has been a meaningful way for us to invest in work we truly believe in and to partner in caring for women who need hope, encouragement, and prayer through some of the hardest seasons of their lives.

Faithfully Restored also has a heart for serving women in our church community. Whether someone is facing a personal crisis, walking through loss, or simply in need of encouragement and prayer, this ministry is available to come alongside them. One simple yet powerful way to get involved is to connect women you know with Faithfully Restored so they don’t have to walk alone.

I hope to invite others at Fellowship to get involved with this incredible organization. Whether you can give your time by volunteering, support the ministry financially, commit to prayer, or share this resource with women who could benefit from its care, every act of involvement makes a difference. Faithfully Restored is a beautiful example of our church living out the love of Christ in tangible ways, and I encourage you to consider how you might be part of the work God is doing through this ministry.
