Our Story.
RiseUp began with a simple heart to go to students with the Gospel. The Coulter Family 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 encounters where students from all over the community could gather and hear the Gospel.
Rise Up was born out of that step of faith. Inspired by Acts 3:6 - Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” We believe there is power in the name of Jesus. No doubt, no fear, no hurt, and no question is too big for our God. We believe we will see a generation RiseUp and walk with the Lord- and it starts right now.

At every encounter, we address the heavy stuff head-on. We know students come with questions, doubts, and skepticism- and this is the place to wrestle with those things. How do we know the Bible is true? How can we be certain Jesus is who He says He is? Come find out.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
God is the creator and sustainer of all of creation, but why does that matter for you? Because He knows you- every hair on your head, every thought in your mind, and loves you. Come & we’ll teach how we know that.

If both those things are true: that God is real and He loves you, what do we do about it? We must respond.
