RISE Ministry

Founded on the whole-hearted belief that all individuals are created in the image of God and uniquely gifted for a purpose. We exist to support and empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to activate their God-given potential through meaningful connection, opportunities for growth, and a deep sense of belonging. At RISE, every person is invited to live fully, love deeply, and flourish in a place where they are known, valued, and loved.

Our Core Values

LOVE - Our God-given aim, our driving motivation, and the legacy we hope to leave in every life we touch.

COLLABORATION - We achieve our most meaningful impact when we reflect the body of Christ by uniting our strengths and serving together for the good of others.

EQUITY - We reflect the inclusive love of Christ by welcoming all into our mission and striving to remove barriers that have kept people from fully belonging, contributing, and flourishing in community.

EMPOWERMENT - We strive to provide opportunities for learning and growth that lead to discovering, embracing, and activating each individual’s unique God-given purpose and gifting.

EXCELLENCE - We hold ourselves accountable to God-honoring standards, seeking to reflect Christ in every interaction and initiative.

CELEBRATION - We intentionally create spaces that spark imagination, invite engagement, and uplift the unique talents and voices of every person — reflecting the goodness and diversity of God’s creation.

INTEGRITY - We lead with Christ-like compassion and stand firm in God’s truth, choosing what is right and honoring others, even when it challenges us.

RISE is thoughtfully designed to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities as they develop skills for greater independence within a safe, supportive, and faith-based environment.

Through a structured, curriculum-based approach and guidance from trained staff, participants will grow in five key areas:

• Life Skills
• Vocational Readiness
• Social Development
• Community Engagement
• Spiritual Growth

RISE is ambitiously pursuing a Residential campus adjacent to Centerpoint Church with the hope to eventually house up to 48 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We have an immediate need for a Founding Director who will oversee Fundraising for a $5 million capital campaign, broader community development, operational development of the residential campus, and be involved in the construction of Phase 1 of the campus.
