"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity" 

1 Timothy 4:12

RISE youth mission statement and goals: 

We seek to bring the Lord to each of these students through many forms of teaching. We provide small groups, worship, and a lesson each week to bring students closer and closer to the Lord. Also, we want every student to feel welcome and leave all the chaos of school, bullies, or any other problems at the door. This is a place where we want students to feel the love of the Lord and grow in their understanding of Him.

Sunday School 10:10 A.M.

Meets in the youth area, Sunday School is geared towards community and gaining biblical knowledge. We want students to come out of the youth with a strong biblical foundation of the book of the Bible. So, we choose a book of the Bible to go through each month and dive into a deep study for 4 weeks to better understand God's word for us.

Wednesday nights 5-7 P.M.

Meets in the youth area,  Wednesday Nights is for the youth to come and experience God through fellowship, worship, lesson, and dinner. We want this to be a fun time of fellowship with games and activities along with time in worship. Every Wednesday we will follow along with the larger church study led by the youth directors and a time of worship. We always have a fun game planned along with dinner each week. We want this time not only where students can grow in their faith but also, a place where they can grow in relationship with each other.

Sunday Nights 5-7 P.M.

Meets in the youth area, Small Groups are a time for students to listen to someone other than the youth directors. We have wonderful parent leaders who come each week ready to dive into God word with your student and provide mentorship to your student. We want this to be a time where students can grow in community, knowledge of God, and learn how to live for Christ. We provide fun games between the guys and girls, and the winner gets a MASSIVE prize at the end of the school year.
