Hear from people who call Rise Church home.
"Rise church is a place where we can grow and have a family when we're far from home. There is nothing else like it in Amherst."
Imani & Maurice P.
Rise Church family
"Rise Church has been a place where I've been able to grow closer to God and deepen my faith while being surrounded by a welcoming and supportive community. I really appreciate how genuine everyone is and how the church encourages me to keep growing in my relationship with God."
Jason

"To be a member of Rise Church is to know home — a place where you can come as yourself and be transformed, a space where community is willing to grow with you in Christ, where one matters despite their background, race, or gender."
