Small Groups
Where Real Growth Happens
At Rise Up, Small Groups are the heartbeat of lasting transformation, creating safe spaces where students can share, learn, and grow together through faith-centered and authentic relationships.
Small Groups with Big Impact
Our Small Groups meet weekly and are designed to go deeper than surface-level connection. These gatherings help students build trust, develop emotional intelligence, and explore life and faith in a space where they are seen, heard, and valued.
Each group is led by trained, caring partners who guide meaningful discussions and model Christ-centered leadership. We focus on relational connection, personal responsibility, and spiritual growth, because we know students thrive when they feel truly known.
Intentional Relationships.Lasting Change.
These aren’t just “hangouts” they are supportive environments built around purpose. Students who attend Small Groups find a consistent circle of peers and adults who will walk with them through both challenges and celebrations.
"Rise Up is not just an after-school program. It’s family. My children come home not only with completed homework, but with joy in their hearts, songs on their lips, and a sense of purpose in their steps."
- Princess Buckman, Parent
