Our Story
Hope Rising Ministries began as a vision & idea from God. Since day number one, our mission has been to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who is the Hope of the world. Along with our desire to see people come to know Jesus as Lord, we are focused on helping them to better understand what it means to follow Jesus through discipleship.
