In Rise Kids, infants through fifth graders are invited to join us on Sundays for engaging teaching and worship.
Through vibrant and nurturing classroom environments, our hope is that each child will discover the transformative love and hope that Jesus has to offer them. And that their faith would be based on Biblical truths that foster a deep and life-long connection with Jesus.
Rise Kids is committed to providing a church experience that is safe, fun, and all about Jesus. Our team members are trained and equipped to serve your children on Sundays. We are dedicated to providing a welcoming space where children feel valued, loved, and excited to learn about Jesus.

BRITE* is a Gospel-centered Children's Ministry Curriculum by AWANA
In every lesson, the Bible is read, heard, and connected to Jesus in ways kids can understand in their own lives.
Leaders are equipped to help kids form a faith built to navigate tough cultural topics.
Brite* makes disciples who can say: "I believe in Jesus, I'm becoming more like Him, and I belong to Him forever."
Introducing Up Next
There’s a unique season that every 5th grader goes through. They’re not really little kids anymore, but they’re not quite middle schoolers either. They’re starting to ask bigger questions, take on more responsibility, and wonder what comes next.That’s why we’re excited to launch Up Next, a brand-new environment created specifically for 5th graders at Rise!
At Rise, we believe every age and stage matters. We don’t want 5th graders to spend a year waiting for middle school. We want to use this year to intentionally invest in them, help them build friendships, grow in their faith, discover their gifts, and prepare for the exciting transition into Rise Youth.
Every Sunday, students will experience games, activities, discussions, hands-on challenges, and biblical teaching designed specifically for where they are right now. Throughout the month, we’ll focus on four key areas:Connect – Building friendships and learning what healthy community looks like.Grow – Developing spiritual habits and learning how to follow Jesus personally.Serve – Discovering how God can use them to make a difference in the church and in the lives of others.Reach – Learning how to share their faith and be a light wherever God has placed them.
Our goal is simple: to help 5th graders take ownership of their faith and step confidently into the next season of life knowing Jesus and living on mission.
Up Next meets Sundays only at the 10:00 AM and is designed exclusively for 5th-grade students. Because when it comes to the next generation, we don’t believe in making students wait their turn. They’re up next.
Meet Our Leads
Rise Kids is led by over a dozen individuals who are pouring out their time and talent to see the next generation come to faith in an environment that is safe, fun, and all about Jesus. Each age group and program is led with care by people that are meeting kids on their level, making activities are age-appropriate, and helping lead them to worship Jesus.
EMBRACE: Do you have a super hero that could use a sidekick in class?
The Rise Kids Embrace team provides support to kids with special needs/disabilities. We partner with kids and families to provide support while they are at church. Our goal is to create individualized plans for children that need extra support, while allowing them to safely participate with their peers in church on Sundays.
Please complete the Rise Kids Embrace intake form and an Embrace team member will be in touch soon!
