Arise-Canada began out of a hope to strengthen gospel centered churches in discipling their congregation. We have personally experienced and/or walked alongside members who have encountered various needs. We know the commitment and toll that it takes on leaders and members as they love one another through tough seasons. It’s often difficult to know how and who to ask for help, and in showing compassion to others, it’s often difficult to know where to be begin.

      We believe that it is the responsibility of church leaders to foster a community of care for their congregations. We provide churches with guidance and resources that will strengthen their ability to bear one another’s burdens with the love and encouragement of Christ. Arise-Canada seeks to supplement care, filling in the gaps of communication and sustainability with the involvement of an individual advocate or an advocate team.

      Our Director of Advocates provides a development session and guidance for the church advocate(s) who will be equipped to assist with the facilitation of care in the church. The advocate(s) could be individuals in church leadership or a team chosen by church leadership. 

      The Director of Advocates and Arise team will provide ongoing support to the church through a provision of resources, collaborative gatherings, and personal communication to ensure long-term care of members. Our prayer is to see the whole church community working properly to heal, bear fruit and be built up in Christ’s love.
