Emerge Youth
Why We Exist
At Arise, we desire to encourage and empower our junior and senior high (grades 6–12) students to grow in and live out a faith that reflects our mission to love God, serve people, and lead others into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Why "Emerge"?
"Emerge" means, in essence, "to become known" or "to gain identity." Our staff and leaders passionately want to see the next generation realize and live out their new identity in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17) and to be known by their love (John 13:35).
The Building Blocks
We live out this goal by providing a safe place that's defined by theological integrity, relational intentionality, and creative quality. Midweek gatherings facilitate fellowship, games, lessons, and small group discussions, while trusted leadership and events reach outside of our walls to meet students where they are. Every part of Emerge is aimed toward our purpose and defined by our values, and every student is welcome, loved, and has a home here!
Summer Break
Emerge Youth is currently on break until September 2026, but there are still exciting youth events planned during the summer! Search our calendar for "Emerge Youth" check out the highlights below!
