21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
Join us as we fast and pray together as one church from January 5 to 25, 2026.
This will be a powerful time to draw closer to God. Whether you decide to fast a specific food (meats, desserts, starches), alcohol, cigarettes, social media, or perhaps God has called you to fast something else, we hope you'll join us during our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. Breakthrough is coming!
Arise Youth - Winter Retreat
Hey Parents!
We’re thrilled to invite your student(s) to our Youth Winter Retreat at KMC, January 16–18! This isn’t just a weekend away — it’s a chance to slow down, unplug, and grow deeper in their faith and friendships.
All throughout Scripture, God meets people when they take time to step away and reconnect with Him. We’ve seen the same happen with our students — retreats like this often become powerful turning points where faith becomes real, friendships strengthen, and hearts are renewed.
The cost is $185, and we truly believe it’s an investment that lasts far beyond the weekend. We pour so much into sports and activities so our kids can grow — this is a chance to invest in their spiritual life, something that impacts eternity.
To reserve a spot, please register with a $50 non-refundable deposit by November 16.
If you have any questions or concerns about cost, reach out — we’d love to chat!
📞 Tim: (808) 292-1686 | Kara: (909) 587-9983
We can’t wait to see what God does in and through our youth!
With excitement and love,
Tim & Kara Abe
Arise Church Youth Directors

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
• Live a consistent Christian life
• Not currently a member of another church
• Complete Next Steps
• Sign the Arise Church Family Covenant
• Be at least 15 years old
• Attend Arise for at least three months (in person or online, and give at least once every two months)
Membership Class
When: 6 PM
Where: Arise Church Office
