Zach Lambert | Lead Pastor

Zach is the Lead Pastor and co-founder of Restore. Born and raised in Austin, he holds a Bachelors of Science in Communication, a Masters of Theology, and is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Ministry at Duke Divinity School. Zach is also the author of the forthcoming book, Better Ways to Read the Bible.

Zach is the co-founder and board member of the Post Evangelical Collective--a group of pastors, artists, and leaders committed to full inclusion, holistic justice, deep and wide formation, a gracious posture, and the Way of Jesus. He also serves on the boards of Restore Houston, The Hub Garage, the Austin Church Planting Network, and the Austin chapter of the Multi-Faith Neighbors Network.

Zach and his wife, Amy, met each other in the 6th grade, fell in love at 17, and got married at 21. They love watching live music, discovering local Mexican food places, supporting Austin FC, and playing with their two boys. Finally, Zach strongly believes Christmas music is too good to confine to the holiday season, so he listens to it year-round.

As the Lead Pastor, Zach is primarily responsible for leading the staff team, teaching, vision casting, and supporting the community. He reports directly to the Restore Board of Directors.
