Rise Student Ministries

6th through 12th Grade

Rise Students is a community for middle and high school students to build real friendships, ask honest questions, and grow in their relationship with Jesus.

We want every student who walks through the door to know they belong here. Whether they’ve grown up in church, are just beginning to explore their faith, or are somewhere in between, Rise is a place where they can show up as they are.

Wednesday Nights 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Wednesday nights are the heart of Rise Students. We gather each week for worship, biblical teaching, conversation, and time together.

It’s a space where students can have fun, build friendships, and discover what following Jesus looks like in their everyday lives.

What to Expect

Real people. Real questions. Real faith.

Being a teenager comes with a lot of questions. We want Rise to be a place where students feel comfortable asking them.

Through Scripture, worship, small-group conversations, and relationships with trusted leaders, we help students build a faith that is their own — one they can carry with them beyond Wednesday night.

For Parents

We know trusting someone else with your student matters.

Our goal is to partner with parents as students grow spiritually, build healthy relationships, and navigate the challenges of middle and high school. If you have questions about Rise Students or what your student can expect, we’d love to talk with you.
