Our mission is to strengthen churches to effectively and efficiently care for their church congregation in a sustainable way, so that, being built up as the body of Christ, the character of God would be displayed.
Our vision is to see churches joyfully and confidently caring for the body of Christ.
Our objective is to equip churches with guidance and resources so they can be renewed and restored physically, relationally and spiritually.
"Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love." Eph. 4: 15, 16
We provide guidance and resources to strengthen churches care for their congregations so that it can build itself up in love.
1. Consulting - We consult with churches to listen, learn and assist with their active work of discipleship and member care. We can help set up systems that provide a sustainable structure for an already existent or new care ministry.
2. Guidance - We provide training and on-going guidance for churches wanting to grow as compassionate disciples who love one another and share the comfort they receive from Christ.
3. Resources - We are here to help! We suggest and share connections to professionals, counselors, books, support groups, blogs, podcasts, and ministries that support member care so that the whole body of Christ is equipped, working properly and growing in love.
Your investment into Arise-Canada is an investment into Christ's church as we work to strengthen the church to love one another as Christ loves and comforts us. Thank you!
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." 2 Cor. 1:3-4
