Pastor Appreciation Month · Sunday, Oct. 25

Thank you,
Pastor Chris.

Our church family gathered after service to share a meal and thank Pastor Chris for his faithful leadership and his heart for this community. You matter to Jesus, and so does every person who came to celebrate him.

Trunk or Treat
at Minneola Horizon.

About 50 cars rolled in, and almost every student came out. Costumes, candy and a whole lot of neighbors: this is what it looks like when a community shows up for each other.

Something’s Happening at Arise · This Month

A New Kind
of Sunday.

Pastor Chris is shaking things up. This past Sunday we pulled the chairs into tables and talked through the message together — real questions, real conversation, nobody on the sidelines.

And over the next few weeks we’re welcoming a lineup of guest speakers — fresh voices, same heart: You Matter to Jesus.

If you’ve been meaning to check us out, this is the month. Grab a seat at the table.

The Magnificent Seven — Current Sermon Series at Arise Church South Lake
Current Sermon Series

The Magnificent Seven

In a culture obsessed with spirituality, everyone seems to have an opinion about Jesus. So what did Jesus actually say about Himself? Over seven weeks, Pastor Chris walks through the seven “I Am” statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John — I am the bread of life, the light of the world, the door, the good shepherd, the resurrection and the life, the way, the truth, and the life, and the true vine.

Baptism Sunday: Marked by Grace

Our very first baptism as a church family — and a look at why baptism is a gift of grace rather than a ritual we earn. It identifies us with Jesus, welcomes us into the family, and calls us into a new way of living.
