As a result of Arise, more high school students are following Jesus, engaging in meaningful faith conversations, and becoming active in the life of a local church.
BECAUSE EVERY STUDENT NEEDS A SAFE SPACE WHEN QUESTIONS ARISE.
why students COME TO ARISE
what is RELEASE-TIME?
Arise is a Release-Time for Religious Instruction program that allows high school students—with parental permission—to step off campus during a non-academic period for character-shaping, faith-centered discussion. Arise coordinates with administrators to ensure full compliance with state law, including attendance reporting, transportation, safety procedures, and scheduling.
why your gift MATTERS
students are SEARCHING
Today’s teens are surrounded by voices telling them what to think. Arise gives them a safe, relational environment to ask questions and be heard.
local pastors need
INNOVATIVE TOOLS
Many pastors long to engage high school students but lack consistent access to them during the week. Release-Time opens a door into the school-day rhythm, giving pastors a meaningful, legal, and effective way to support students right where they are.
your gift transforms the trajectory
of A STUDENT'S LIFE
Your investment creates sacred space in the school week where students encounter hope, community, and trusted mentors at the exact moment questions arise.
