WELCOME!

We’re happy you’re visiting upRising today. We welcome all who are seeking community through God’s love and grace. We welcome all because God welcomes all, regardless of race or culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or relationship status. Our hope is that you feel at home and sense the warmth of this community. One of the things we value most is creating a place where people can find belonging.

  • Music Ministry

    Psalm 95 tells us to “sing joyfully to the Lord.” At upRising, we don’t just sing joyfully…we sing and play instruments passionately, artfully, inclusively, diversely, beautifully, with or without accompaniment, in solo and ensembles like the chime choir, and often! Nearly every event is an occasion to raise a chorus of praise to the Gracious Creator that has blessed our church with a wealth of musically talented individuals.
