ABOUT ARISING

OUR MISSION

We help all people on their journey to know, love and discover their purpose in God.

Our hope is to give you a place where you believe, belong and become all God created you and your family to be as you experience a fresh, enjoyable connection with God and others. We believe when people:

BELIEVE in Jesus

 

BELONG in community

 

& BECOME all you are created to be in Christ

 

That’s how we are made new, arise great, and transform others’ lives, and it’s the motivation behind everything we do to make a big difference in our world.

YOUR NEXT STEP.

Your journey has a purpose. We want you to take your “Next Step” in discovering your purpose, and we’ll help you find it. We want to help you discover who God created you to be. It could start with serving, giving, or joining us regularly. You don’t have to take the next step alone. With a strong community of friends, you can grow, have fun and serve with people who genuinely care about you.

OUR BELIEFS

THE BIBLE IS GOD’S WORD.

We believe the Bible to be the supreme and authoritative Word of God. Fully inspired, completely truthful and written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It cannot be added to, subtracted from, or superseeded in any regard.

ONE GOD.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

GOD IS OUR FATHER.

We believe God the Father is sovereign, holy, all powerful, all knowing and all seeing. He is full of wisdom and love. God is Love. We believe the Father created us to have a personal and intimate relationship with Him. He hears and answers our prayers. He saves us from sin and death who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

JESUS IS GOD’S SON.

We believe God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the only begotten Son of the Father, born of a virgin. At the time He walked on earth, He was both fully human and fully Divine. We believe in the Deity of Jesus. We believe Jesus lives a perfect and sinless life, full of truth and no lies. We believe the sacrifice of His body atoned for the sins of the whole world through His shed blood. We believe He was raised from the dead after three days by the power of the Holy Spirit. He lives continuously and intercedes on our behalf until He returns again to earth in power and glory. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the works of the devil and give His life to redeem and restore man back to God.

THE HOLY SPIRIT.

We believe God the Holy Spirit is the promised gift to those who believe Jesus is the Son of God. For whom He dwells, He is the eternal guarantee of our eternal life. We believe in His present ministry today. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and the judgement to come. He regenerates, sancifies, and empowers all who believe in Jesus Christ enabling us to live a godly life and to perform good works.

SALVATION.

Man was created in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam’s transgression sin came into the world. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential and that this salvation is received through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and not as a result of good works.

JESUS’ RETURN.

We believe that Scriptures clearly teach that there is a conscious personal existence after death. The final destiny of each person is determined by God’s grace and that person’s response. Heaven with its eternal glory and the blessednesss of Christ’s presence is the final abode of those who choose the salvation which God provides through Jesus Christ, but hell with its everlasting misery and separation from God is the final abode of those who neglect this great salvation. We believe Jesus Christ will personally return to earth & establish His Kingdom.

ETERNITY.

We believe in the resurrection from the dead for both the saved and the lost. They that are saved, will be resurrected to eternal life & joy in Christ’s Kingdom. They that are lost/the wicked will be resurrected to eternal damnation separated from Christ. We believe there is a literal place prepared for Satan, his followers and all who reject Jesus Christ and this place is called Hell.

THE LOCAL CHURCH.

We believe in the spiritual faith-filled unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the head of the Church. We believe the local church is a vital piece of His kingdom. We believe we were created to glorify and worship God through our daily lives. We should be faithful stewards of our blessings financial, physical & spiritual seeking maturity in Christ for ourselves and all those around us.

LIVING FOR GOD.

We believe that every Christian is to live for God and not for themselves. By following Jesus, obedience to the Bible, participation in a community of faith, and daily yielding to the Spirit, every believer matures and becomes conformed to the image of Christ and lives their most fulfilled life.

We believe every believer in Christ is empowered by God to share our faith in Christ; being a powerful and influential Christian witness to many who may not otherwise step inside a church building.

This Statement of Belief does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself, is the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authoirty concerning the truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind. For purposes of church, doctrine, practice, policy and discipline, the lead pastor, and church network affiliation are the church’s final interpretive authority on the Bibble’s meaning and application.
