At Rise Youth, we are ignited by the call of Ezra 10:4: “Rise up; this matter is in your hands, take courage and do it.” We believe this is a moment for a generation to rise in bold faith, standing for holiness, even when the cost is high. In a world that pressures us to compromise, we are creating a sacred space where young people can press deeper into the heart of Jesus, encounter His transformative presence, and be equipped to live with radical courage and conviction.
We are here to disciple with love, empower with the Holy Spirit, and create an atmosphere where encounters with the living God lead to life change. Our dream is to see this generation rise to the call of God, walking in the fullness of their identity, and making Jesus known as they boldly live out their purpose in His power.
