The Rise Up Culture

This week in NextGen small groups, our students dove into something big: identity. 💛

We started with the question that changes everything: what is identity, and why does it matter? We talked about how we see our neighbor, and then flipped it around... how does God see us? Then we opened up Scripture together and let it show us exactly who we are through His eyes.

Our kids left knowing this: you don't have to earn God's love. He already sees you as His.
Parents, you get to keep this going all week at home. Head to the blog for family discipleship tips, the kid-friendly recap, and the full message (link below). Lead your family to speak TRUTH and IDENTITY over each other this week.

When we rise in Christ, our families rise 🙌

Your team doesn't need better systems. They need to understand how God actually created them.

Every person in your church carries something specific. A wiring. A calling. A way God designed them to serve and make impact, both inside the church walls and out in the everyday places they live, work, and lead. But most people have never been given the tools to see it clearly.

That is what the Kingdom Calling Assessment is for. It helps churches walk their people through discovering who God created them to be, not a generic role, but their unique design. When people understand their wiring, they stop guessing where they fit and start stepping into where they thrive.

Our course walks you through it step by step, helping you identify the specific areas God has gifted and positioned you to serve in.

You are not random. You were not overlooked. God was intentional when He designed you.

If you want to bring this to your team or discover your own wiring first, comment CALLING and we will send you the link.

This week we asked a question worth sitting with: how do you actually believe God sees you? Not the Sunday School answer, the real one, the one that's quietly shaping how you see yourself and your family every day.

Psalm 139 says He formed you on purpose. Ephesians 2:10 says you're His masterpiece, not His project. If you missed it in person, or just want to sit with it again, the full message is up now.

Which part is hardest for you to believe, that God adores you or that He formed you on purpose? Tell us in the comments 👇

Something new is starting this Saturday night, and we cannot wait for you to be part of it.Introducing our new sermon series, Closer to the Healer. A journey into what it looks like to draw near to Jesus, the One who heals hearts, mends what is broken, and meets us right where we are.

And there is more. We are stepping into a NEW location. A new space to gather, worship, grow, and become family together.

If you have been feeling distant from God, tired, or just needing a fresh encounter with Him, this series is for you. Come expecting Jesus to move. Come expecting healing. Come expecting to feel seen and welcomed home.

There is room for you here. Bring a friend, bring your family, and let’s rise together as we get closer to the Healer.

Comment WORSHIP and we’ll send you the link with all the details on our new location and service times.

This is what happens when someone discovers how God actually designed them.

One of the most powerful parts of the Kingdom Calling Assessment is your Biblical DNA, the leader from Scripture you reflect. Because sometimes it is hard to see ourselves clearly. But when you see someone in the Bible with a similar heart, struggle, or leadership fire, suddenly it clicks. That is how I think. That is how I lead. That is what burns in me when I pray.

If God moved through someone like Barnabas, Esther, Nehemiah, David, or Paul, He can move through you too.

This is not a personality quiz that boxes you in. It is a mirror that brings clarity, confidence, and courage to walk out your calling.

So here is our question for you. If you took it today, which Biblical leader do you think you would reflect? Drop a name in the comments. We would love to hear it.

And if you want to actually find out, comment CALLING and we will send you the link to take the Kingdom Calling Assessment for yourself. 💛
