Welcome to the Marraige Ministry
The Marriage Ministry at Rise is focused on reconciling, rebuilding, and restoring covenant marriages. Our mission is to help married, engaged, and seriously dating couples build Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, and socially responsible relationships that honor God and reflect His love for the church. This ministry fosters unity, strengthens bonds, and equips couples to walk in forgiveness, wisdom, and grace.

Our Story
Demonstrated by living our core values: compassion, growth, courage to act, responsibility, belonging, curiosity. You can see them cultivated in every experience for students, families and staff.
Community is everything. It’s who we are and how things get done. Everyone here is motivated by a deep commitment to making sure each child and family feels welcome and included. When everyone feels like they belong, we are stronger and smarter together. We’re a community driven to make the world a better place—starting in our own backyard.
