ARISE Youth is the youth ministry of ARISE Church for school years 9-13. ARISE Youth is committed to gathering and discipling the next generation by creating fun, healthy, God-honouring environments. We want to help every teenager pursue Jesus and advance His kingdom. We want every young person to find community, and build strong, healthy friendships that will impact them for the better.

Romans 12:2 NIV “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

At Arise Youth we are passionate about raising up youth that love and are filled with God’s presence, that carry the heart of God, and that are bold in their faith. Arise Youth across NZ runs Wave Nights which are our Friday night youth services, and life groups which are our bible studies in homes. All teenagers are welcome and we would love to make sure they feel included!
