About Us
“Arise, shine; for the light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1
Who Are We?
ARISE is a “START-UP” church. It is a byproduct of so many prayers. As a result, churches like SONRISE Southwest, SONRISE Roanoke, and SEND Church started to collaborate together in the midst of the pandemic (June 2020) to make this happen! ARISE is a Christian, Protestant, Evangelical, and Wesleyan in its origin and distinctiveness. We publicly and officially launched last January 2022 to ARISE and shine for God’s Greater Glory!

What To Expect?
Music, Messages, & Meeting Awesome Peeps
In response to the Gospel, you will join with a group of people to sing of God’s goodness, grace, and glory. You will also hear clear and practical teaching from the Bible as the main source of our transforming message. Here in this space, we seek the love of Christ, community of Jesus’ followers, and the power of the Spirit to change us from the inside and out. We hope to see you soon!
