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.
