is a non-school, non-PTA, & non-Foundation sponsored club that operates as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. The Heart of RISE UP! CHRIST: Our hope is that each child who comes to a RISE UP! meeting will know they are loved and adored by God and created for a purpose with a unique skill set. We want each child to understand that God desires to be in relationship with them which is why He sent Hi
s son Jesus Christ. We want the children to know the Bible is exciting and full of adventure! And, God chose ordinary people, not perfect people, to go on those adventures. He even chose children…anyone whose hearts were willing. He continues to do so today as He draws people into the adventure of having a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. CHARACTER: We are passionate about a generation of kids rising up with character and morality. uses the Bible as a guide to teach different character qualities and empower children to make positive choices. This happens through fun, high energy games and skits and kids leave with tools for practical application. We want the Kindergarteners to know that there are other students in the school all the way up to 5th grade seeking to make the right choices. We hope to bridge that gap. By the time the kids leave our program and move on to middle school, our hope is they will have a solid peer group of friends seeking God’s best for their life and demonstrating solid character. CONNECTIONS: We want to connect with and partner with parents. We believe there are a lot of parents who want to raise their children with a solid Biblical foundation, but don’t know how. That’s where RISE UP! In elementary school, kids are still eager to communicate with their parents. It is our goal that the RISE UP! meetings will help jump start meaningful conversations and help them really connect with their children. In addition, we will provide the children and parents with resources to help create more teachable opportunities inside the home.
