Toy Drive

Our annual toy drive benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters kicks off this Sunday!

We’re encouraging the South/East region, satellite ministries, and campus ministries to purchase toys for infants through kids up to age 5.

The West region will take care of purchasing toys for kids in Kindergarten through 6th grade.

And the North region will purchase toys for teens in grades 7 through 12.

Please drop off the toys unwrapped bySunday morning, December 22nd to the stage.

If you’re in the North region, we encourage you to bring your toys to the church building during one of the two Christmas services.

Christmas Services

We are excited to share the plan for our Christmas services!

Both services will be at the Rise Church building with no service at Oak Trace Elementary.

The first one will be at 9 am and no childcare will be provided.

At 11:30 am, there will be childcare provided for the little ones, but older children are invited to sit in the auditorium for a family friendly service.

We’ll have a church Christmas party after the services with kids activities and light refreshments.

Pantry of Hope at Rise Church

We are looking for people to partner with us each month. A printable list is available here if you would like to purchase food for the Pantry each month. Otherwise, using these instructions, you can donate money to us, and we will purchase food on your behalf.

Thanks for your love, prayers, and support!
