Deepen Students began with a simple heart — to go to students with the Gospel. Forrest Coulter started the ministry believing that if we have anything to offer, it’s Jesus. Over time, that conviction grew into a deeper calling to create intentional nights where students from all over the community could gather and clearly hear the Gospel.

Rise Up was born out of that step of faith. Inspired by Acts 3:6 — “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you” — we believe we don’t have anything flashy to offer. What we have is the Gospel, and we trust the Lord to move.
