How It All Began
Rise Church Amherst was born out of a simple conviction: that every person in this city deserves to encounter the love of Jesus in a genuine, welcoming community. What started as a small gathering in a living room has grown into a vibrant, multi-generational church family.
We planted our roots in Amherst because we believe in this city — its students, its families, its neighbors. We’ve seen lives transformed, families healed, and communities changed by the power of the Gospel.
Today we are a church that is still growing — not just in numbers but in depth, in generosity, and in love for one another and for our world.
