U ARISE was birthed in 2012 out of the desire to see God move on college and university campuses around the world. 

 
 

Love transforms people. When you love the campus you transform the world. We have three distinct U ARISE initiatives that God is moving through to bring revival, reformation, and renaissance to the hearts of students and their campuses. Join us!

Founded on the rock of Jesus Christ.

 

We love God and his nature. In fact, we based our core values on His unchanging love. We are hungry to see every aspect of his nature manifest on college and university campuses around the world. Our identity is in Christ alone.

The REDEEMER God 

Isaiah 61: 1,3 – The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed...To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.

The SUPPLIER God

 2 Corinthians 9:10 –  For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.
