What is RISE? 

RISE Student Leadership exists to raise up the next generation of leaders who love Jesus, serve faithfully, and step boldly into their calling. No matter your age, we believe God can call you and prepare you to lead, even at a young age. This is more than a position; it’s a lifestyle of influence, growth, and impact. 

Our Beliefs

What We Believe About Leadership 

We believe that everything rises and falls with leadership, and everyone is called to be a leader. Leadership is not just being on stage - it’s about discipleship. Every student is called to become a disciple of Jesus and make a difference wherever He calls them to serve.

What We Believe About Students

We believe God can speak through students of any age. Just as Paul encouraged Timothy not to let anyone look down on him because of his youth, we challenge students to set an example for others in their speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity (1 Timothy 4:12). We believe God desires to use them to impact their families, friendships, and campuses for Christ.
