CALENDAR EVENTS
Scroll down to take a look at our entire calendar of events.
Membership Class
If you call Arise your home church, it’s time to make it official. Take our Membership Class and become part of the Arise Church family.
Being part of Arise means more than attending services. It’s about belonging, serving, and growing together. Just like in a family, everyone has a role and something meaningful to bring.
You might think, “I don’t need to be a member to be part of what God is doing here.” And while that might seem true, real family comes with commitment. You can visit a home and enjoy it, but when you decide to live there, you experience deeper connection, support, and purpose.
At Arise, we believe being part of a church family is both a responsibility and a blessing. We commit to care for one another, grow in faith, and walk through life together.
As a Member, You’ll Receive
• Care and counseling from our Pastoral Care Team
• Updates and vision shared at our annual business meeting
• Opportunities to serve and lead in ministry
Everyone who comes to Arise is a gift. We love seeing those gifts grow and make a difference.
Membership Requirements
• Follow Jesus as Lord and Savior
• Agree with Arise’s Statement of Faith and Core Beliefs

OPEN HEAVEN 🕊️
There are moments when we cannot stay on the surface. Open Heaven is a night to press in.
We are gathering to seek the presence of God through powerful worship and fervent prayer. We will lift up the name of Jesus, declare His truth, and stand together in faith for breakthrough, freedom, healing, restoration, and transformation.
This is a night to lay down distractions, strengthen your faith, and pursue God with everything you have. We believe prayer changes things, worship shifts our focus, and when God’s people come together and seek Him, He moves.
Come expectant. Come hungry. Come ready to worship, pray, and believe God for more.
