Beyond just love and companionship, marriage is a beautiful gift from God. It brings together a man and a woman to partner with God in creating new life. But it’s more than just creating life. Intimacy also binds together a husband and wife - it’s a partnership where both spouses can help each other fulfill their calling, and that's just a beautiful thing.
Join us for week 2 of Established, where we'll learn that Jesus is our ultimate model and goal. Because when we rely on His power to truly transform our lives, we will build a lasting legacy of faith, love, and mission.

A Multi-Generational Legacy

Monday May 13, 2024
In our society, there's a common misconception that family comes second or that children are a burden. But that's not how it's meant to be.
From the very beginning, God instructed us to thrive and grow as families. He saw family as a precious gift, a foundational blessing, and a way to share His teachings with future generations. Our goal is to raise kids to embrace the love of Jesus and become active members of His church.
Join us for our new series called "Established," where we'll dive into the Faith, Love, and Mission behind cultivating families that leave a lasting legacy.

We Are Made One

You belong here.
Our journey toward God begins with His invitation to us. This invitation isn't contingent upon our personalities, preferences, or politics. Instead, it's rooted in His inclusive love that embraces us all. He paves the way and unites us with grace, love and forgiveness. We're called to mirror Him by extending invitations to others, welcoming them into our lives just as God welcomed us into His.
Join us as Pastor Jason unpacks Ephesians 2 with the powerful reminder that we are all welcome, and that we should make room for others because He first made room for us.

I am God's Workmanship

Sunday Apr 28, 2024
There is a cosmic battle being fought in this world— a fight of good and evil, and evil is deceptively trying to destroy all that is good and beautiful. The battle is not just around us though, it is in us. Sin and the resulting shame are causing our spiritual death, and keeping us from relationship with the Creator.
But there's good news. Jesus came so that His grace could come and make right all that is wrong. By Jesus' grace, we have freedom from our sin, and an identity that is uniquely crafted to glorify God alone. Listen in as we enter Ephesians 2 to understand that our brokenness and pain are not the end of the story. We are His workmanship, created in Him for good works, and for His glory.

Burdens, responsibilities, relationships, work - we are all carrying a lot. And so often these burdens can make us feel overwhelmed with life. But we weren't meant to carry these things alone, in our own strength.
In Jesus, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit. A power to make a way through life, an energy to sustain you, strength to be victorious, and the might to defeat sin and shame. We can have freedom and power to walk in the hope of Jesus. Join us through the end of Ephesians 1 as we learn to tap into the Spirit and form identity by His power.

In a world where religion can feel like a list of rules without room for grace, Ephesians reminds us of a profound truth: through our union with Christ, we're not just on a religious treadmill; we're embraced by the Trinity, through Jesus' love and mercy.
Join us as we dive into our series Identity with guest speaker Rick McKinley to experience the freedom of living in Christ and our true identity in unity with Him.

Tuesday Apr 09, 2024
Since childhood, we've been bombarded by words, wounds, and weaknesses trying to define who we are. But the truth is, Jesus came to give us a new identity, through His blood. In Him, we find redemption, forgiveness, and a place in God's family.
Listen in to this week's message, "Identity: Who I Am," as we explore our true identity that comes from Jesus Christ and nothing else.

Easter Sunday

Tuesday Apr 02, 2024
On Easter, we reflect on the truth that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again from the dead. The resurrection is the foundation of our faith and the heart of the Gospel, offering salvation to everyone who believes.
Listen in to the Easter message to hear why building our faith on anything other than the Gospel will ultimately let you down.

Generous. Future.

Monday Mar 25, 2024
At Rise City Church, we reflect a culture of generosity rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ. We recognize that all we have is a gift from God, and when we give, we are giving back to the One who has given us everything. Our giving of time, talents, and treasures is not driven by guilt or obligation but by a desire to glorify God and advance His kingdom on earth.
We joyfully invest in the growth of His kingdom by actively and intentionally raising up the next generation of believers because we firmly believe, 'Win the Kids, Win the Future.'
Join us for this week's sermon in our series, "We Are Rise," as Pastor Jason speaks into our core values of generosity and empowering the next generation.

We Love Our City

Monday Mar 18, 2024
In a time when it often feels like the local culture pushes us away from God's calling, it can be tempting to think that moving elsewhere is the solution. However, we are reminded that God placed us here in this particular place, for this particular time. Our mission is to bring heaven to Earth, not look for it elsewhere.
We want our city to see, through our actions, that we genuinely care about people. At Rise, we do that by welcoming people in our doors and creating a space for people to feel seen and loved.
Listen in to the latest message in our series "We Are Rise" as we explore the power of being radically hospitable...because We Love Our City!
