🎄 Help Make Our December 12th Christmas Concert Possible! 🎶

Our Hope Rising Christmas Concerts are quickly approaching, and we are looking for sponsors to help make this special day possible! 💛

With 154 students participating this semester, putting on two concerts at the Grant Fine Arts Center is a big undertaking. Sponsorships help Hope Rising cover the many expenses that come with providing a quality concert experience for our students and families—while helping us continue to keep Christ-centered music education accessible to local families.

And you do not have to own a business to sponsor! 🙌

🎶 Businesses & organizations
⛪ Churches
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Families, grandparents & friends
💛 Individuals who simply believe in what Hope Rising is doing

Your sponsorship can advertise a business or organization, OR it can simply be a message of encouragement to our students—something as simple as “We’re cheering you on, Hope Rising!”

Every sponsorship, big or small, helps us invest in these young musicians and create opportunities for them to develop their God-given gifts.

🎄 Christmas Concerts
📅 Saturday, December 12
⏰ 2:00 PM & 6:00 PM
📍 Grant Fine Arts Center

🎶💵 Practice pays off at Hope Rising… literally! 😄

Our students are loving something new this semester — Music Money!

Students earn Music Money by putting in their practice time throughout the week, and then they get to spend what they’ve earned at our Hope Rising Snack Shop! 🍿🍬

Judging by these smiles, we think it’s a hit! 🙌

We love seeing the excitement of choosing a treat, but we love even more what’s happening behind the scenes: students are practicing, building good habits, and growing in their music! 🎻🎸🎤🪕

Practice ➡️ Music Money ➡️ Snack Shop ➡️ Happy musicians! 💛

Keep practicing, Hope Rising students — those Music Money dollars add up! 😉

More than music. For His glory. 🎶

🎶❤️ And we’re off!

Today was the first day of our fall semester at Hope Rising Music Academy, and what a joy it was to have our students back!

We loved seeing all the smiling faces, excitement, instruments in hand, and students ready to learn and grow. There was such a wonderful energy throughout the day!

We’re so thankful for each student, family, instructor, and volunteer God has brought to Hope Rising. We can’t wait to see what He has in store as we learn, grow, make music, and glorify Him together this semester. 🎵

Here’s a little peek at our very first day! ❤️

🎶 Last Summer Jam Night! 🎶

What a fun way to wrap up our summer jam sessions! We’ve loved these past few months of making music, laughing, learning, and simply enjoying time together. 💛

We are so thankful for every student who came out, brought an instrument, led songs, tried something new, and helped make these evenings so much fun.

❤️ A special THANK YOU to Mr. VandenBerg for supplying the ice cream and toppings! 🍦

It’s been an amazing summer, and now we’re counting down the days until the Fall Semester begins in just a couple of weeks!

We cannot wait to kick things off and see what God has in store for Hope Rising this semester.

More than music. For His glory. 🎶

Have you ever seen the video opener we use for our Hope Rising concerts?

It gives a little glimpse into how Hope Rising began, how much it has grown, and the heart behind why we do what we do.

What started small has grown into a ministry where students are learning, leading, serving, and using their God-given gifts through music.

This video really captures the story behind Hope Rising — and reminds us that it’s always been about more than music.

For His glory.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
