Spiritual Life at Rise

Rooted in Christian values to ensure students can make positive change in their communities.

A group of young people sitting in pews inside a church, facing forward. The main focus is a person standing at a pulpit in front, with a large stained glass window behind him depicting a figure with a halo and staff. The church has an American flag on the left and a white wall with a small cross on either side of the stained glass window. The audience is mostly young, with some using their phones.

  • All faculty and students participate in chapel every Wednesday. Students are supported by a faculty advisor but make decisions on scripture readings, song selections, and prayers.

  • All freshmen are required to take this foundational course which introduces students to the core beliefs, history, and practices of the Christian faith.

    Additional religion courses are available to students in other grade levels who wish to deepen their spiritual understanding and discipleship.

  • On Mondays, students participate in either the Brotherhood Collective or the Girls’ Group, creating space for faculty-student mentorship and mental health support.
