RISE Community Coffeehouse is a subsidiary of Seneca Gospel Mission, created to live out our calling to serve others, share Christ’s love, and help people discover hope and purpose.

Through RISE, we provide employment readiness training for at-risk youth and individuals facing barriers to employment—helping them build confidence, independence, and a brighter future.

🍦 Please support our End-of-Summer Ice Cream Social Fundraiser!

When you support RISE, you’re helping us put faith into action and make a difference in the lives of others. ❤️

“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18

Tomorrow … A great time in support of an even greater cause!!!

At RISE, we believe that when we share what God has given us—our time, our resources, and our hearts—we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. We’re grateful for the opportunity to come alongside Seneca Street Church and help provide a meal, fellowship, and a little hope to those in our community who need it.

❤️ Serving Beyond the Coffeehouse

One of the ways we serve outside of our coffeehouse programming is through the Seneca Street Church Lunch Ministry. Each Wednesday, this important ministry provides a meal and a welcoming place for members of our community to gather, connect, and be cared for.

RISE supports this ministry by providing one of our employees to help facilitate the weekly meal, as well as through financial support and providing them with donations of food and paper goods.

It’s a beautiful example of what can happen when community organizations work together. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with Seneca Street Church and be part of a ministry that is meeting people right where they are.

RISE is more than a coffeehouse. We’re committed to pouring hope and relief into our community—one person, one meal, and one cup at a time. ☕❤️

🍦☀️ END-OF-SUMMER ICE CREAM SOCIAL! ☀️🍦

This Saturday, August 29th from 2–6 PM, come join us at RISE for an afternoon of ice cream, hot dogs, karaoke, raffles, prizes, and plenty of fun! 🎤🎟️🌭🍨

But this isn’t just a party—it’s a fundraiser with a purpose. ❤️

Your support helps us continue providing employment readiness training for at-risk youth and individuals facing barriers to employment. Every scoop, every hot dog, every raffle ticket, and every donation helps us give people the skills, confidence, and opportunity they need to move toward greater independence and a brighter future.

Part 1 of 2 - The Story Behind RISE ❤️

These videos are part RISE origin story, part personal testimony, but most importantly, it’s a story about God at work.

Michael Reid shares how God led him to start RISE and how He continues to use ordinary people who are willing to say, “Here I am, Lord. Use me.”

RISE isn’t about what we can accomplish on our own. It’s about what God can do through surrendered hearts, willing hands, and people who choose to serve Him.

All glory belongs to God. 🙏
