Pizza Ranch Serves

While we've been talking about J-O-Y this week, I want to encourage you to persevere to put Jesus first, yourself last, and others in between.

Each morning of our conference we start the day in praise and worship.

A good friend and pastor of mine used to sum up the Gospel message with the equation GC Squared. The Great Commandment and the Great Commission. Today we focus on the Great Commandment.

God wants us to find our rest in Him. No matter what’s going on in life, the good and the difficult, no matter how busy we are. He wants us to dwell in the who He is.

About 1 month ago our Church had Compassion Sunday.

RISE Ministries began in 2001 with Rob Roozeboom's simple desire to share his story of hope through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
