Missions

When you give to Rise Church, you’re supporting the missions that matter to the heart of God.

We believe every church is called by God to be mobilized for mission both locally and globally. This means working to see lives changed by the Gospel in our own communities AND supporting the mission of Jesus in other parts of the world. In addition to our own missional strategies, we partner with organizations that support local and global communities, loving and serving those in need as Jesus taught.

Global Missions

The whole world matters to God,
so it matters to us.

We believe every local church should be participating in global missions. Jesus didn't just die for us. He died for the whole world. There are many ways we can participate in serving those in need around the world, involving our church in causes that matter to the heart of Jesus.
Converge missionaries depend upon God's financial provision through the faithful, ongoing support of churches like us. Every year, we increase and expand our support of international missionaries. We currently support missionaries in Japan, Togo, and Thailand.
