Learn about our journey in planting a presence in our city
2014
Launch
Rise launched in March of 2014 meeting in the Fairview Community Center in Fairview, OR. Within 6 months we outgrew that space and started meeting on Sunday nights at Mountainvew Church in Gresham.
2016
Vision Clarity
In 2016 we took huge steps towards clarifying our vision to rise up and saturate our city with the Gospel. This means all over our city, you see followers of Jesus rising up to their true calling to bring the presence of Jesus to every corner of our community.
2017
Multiply
In 2016 we multiplied into two services on Sunday nights. This allows us to reach and connect with more people in our city.
2018
Future Home
In 2018 we purchased our future home right in the middle of Gresham. The hand of God moved in powerful ways to allow us to purchase the former SkateWorld.
2019
Ministry Impact
2019 was filled with incredible fruit. From 70 people entering the waters of baptism, to our largest Rise Kids Camp ever, to tangible partnerships with community outreach like My Father's House and laundry love.
2020
Adaptation
2020 hasn't gone like any of us had planned. But the ministry and mission must go forward. In September of 2020 Rise launched house churches as a new method in the midst of an unprecedented season.
