RISE UP!

After Nebuchadnezzar sacked the city of Jerusalem in 586 B.C., its walls and gates laid in ruin for over 140 years. When Nehemiah, cupbearer to the king of Persia, found out about it, he was heartbroken.

God raised him up to challenge His people to set about restoring what had been devastated. They responded faithfully and rebuilt the walls in 52 days. Recent events have impacted churches in ways not seen in decades—or longer. We now have an unprecedented opportunity to pivot and come out of this stronger and more focused than ever before.

RISE UP is a 52-day challenge for God’s people to rise up, take strength from Him, and forge into the future with clarity and confidence.

OUR CHALLENGE

WE BELIEVE IT IS TIME TO RISE UP AND STEP BOLDLY INTO THE BRIGHT FUTURE GOD HAS FOR OUR CHURCH.

To do that, it’s going to take ALL of us—EACH of us to have a life-altering encounter with God in these next 52 days, praying that we would RISE UP and take our surrender, commitment, faith, and generosity to a whole new level.

Can you imagine how the gospel could be advanced and our church strengthened if each one of us made extraordinary decisions to partner with our extraordinary God?

God wants “to do above and beyond all that we ask or think.” He wants to do that in your life, and in our church. JOIN US IN THIS CHALLENGE, IN THIS QUEST, TO TAKE STRENGTH FROM THE LORD AND RISE UP IN WAYS WE’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
