Our next Baptism will take place on Sunday, June 7, 2026 at a private residence in Cooper City. Baptism is one of the most meaningful moments in the life of a believer — a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ and a celebration of the new life we have in Him. It is an outward expression of an inward transformation, symbolizing the death of the old life and being raised into new life through Christ.

We want to share an important update regarding our Sunday gatherings.
Recently, during the City of Weston’s inspection process, several new requirements were introduced regarding our Sunday meeting space, including facility updates, certifications, and a parking study. As a result, we are temporarily unable to gather at our regular Weston location while this work is completed. Please know we are actively working through every requirement, and the city is helping expedite the process. We believe this will only be temporary.
As pastors and leaders, we want to remind you that the Church has never been about a building. The Church is the people of God gathered together in the name of Jesus.
Because of that, we will continue meeting every Sunday as a church family. Beginning this Sunday at 10:30 AM, we will gather at:
14600 Griffin Road
Southwest Ranches, FL 33330
Scripture reminds us in Hebrews 10:24-25 not to neglect gathering together, but to encourage one another in faith. Even in seasons of transition, we believe God continues to strengthen His people through community, worship, and prayer.
We also want to encourage you to stay connected during this season:
• Download the Rise Community App for updates and resources
• Visit our website for announcements and study materials
• Reach out anytime at info@risecommunity.org for prayer or support
Thank you for your faithfulness, flexibility, and continued encouragement. We are grateful to walk through this season together and look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday.

This Christmas season, Rise Community Church invites you to be part of our Christmas Angels Outreach—a chance to share the love of Jesus in a tangible way. This year, we have two ways to serve: we’ll be adopting a local family in need through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County, providing Christmas gifts and hope right here in our community. We’ll also be partnering with Haiti’s Hope to bless children in Haiti with gifts and joy this Christmas. Together, we can make a difference both locally and globally—bringing light, love, and hope to those who need it most.
We will be collecting essential items to provide comfort, dignity, and care to those who need it most. Your donations will be distributed directly through Broward Partnership to individuals and families in our community.
Every few months we take a break from our usual Sunday gathering for an opportunity to gather around the table for a meal while we worship together. We hope you will join us!
Our next Baptism will be held on Sunday, August 3, 2025 in Southwest Ranches. This is a church-wide event, and we hope everyone will join us as we come alongside and support those who have made the decision to be baptized! BBQ will be provided so bring the whole family for a beautiful day of celebration and fellowship.
The Venezuela Project 2025 is a mission initiative led by CCI America Latina to revitalize Christian camp ministries across Venezuela. Amid economic hardship and a shortage of trained leaders, this project aims to equip 70 camp and church leaders through a three-day national convention, fostering hope, leadership, and spiritual growth. With the support of donations and prayers, the project seeks to empower local churches to impact youth, families, and communities for generations to come.
