MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission at The Rising is simple – to make disciples of all nations (Matt 28:19). This means we’ll do anything God calls us to…no matter how crazy, how mundane, or how much of a struggle it’ll be. It’s that simple because He’s God and we’re not.
OUR VISION
Our greater vision is to see a movement of Kingdom-minded disciples who serve, love, and live like Jesus did. We want to see a whole generation of people rise up from their spiritual graves and unashamedly tell of what Jesus has done for them! We believe this starts with Christians who actually try to live like Christians, knowing we'll fail, but we try anyway and embrace the grace of Christ in those moments.
We want to see thousands throughout southern California come together to worship their creator and savior. We want to see these same people share life with each other in small communities, underground pockets of resistance to the social norm who love and live together as the Bible teaches. We want to see real compassion, real worship, real integrity, real patience, real action for God today. We believe this begins with a relationship with God through Jesus and is encouraged by practicing spiritual disciplines like prayer, Bible reading, worship, fasting, etc...
We envision thousands on Wednesday evenings worshiping God together, finding smaller Christian community, and embracing and loving everyone we encounter with a heart like Jesus, telling them what He's done for us.
