Every Sunday morning during our 8:00 AM & 10:00 AM services, we offer in-person and online services, where we start with singing a mix of contemporary and traditional music led by our worship team. After worship, we hear an inspiring message from the Pastor. Plan to hang around after service to connect with our Arise Church Family and enjoy a great time of fellowship over coffee and refreshments!

Don't worry—we have a place for them to learn and grow in their faith and fellowship! Arise Kids is available during Sunday services for children ages two months through five.
For 6th-12th graders, Arise Youth is on Friday nights (except for the last Friday of every month) from 6-8pm.
