RISING Church is a community of faith in Buford, GA. For more info, see our website & Facebook groups & follow us on Instagram. Mission Statement: "Our purpose is to lead everyone into a deeper and more vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ." Located in Gwinnett County, Georgia, we support missionaries in Nicaragua, India, Haiti, the Middle East, and various U.S. locations. Each year we send 5 to 10 mission groups to various parts of the world. Our youth begin going on mission trips when they enter middle school, and continue on progressively more challenging mission experiences through high school. Our mission trips also include college students and adults. We also do outreach / community ministries with organizations such as Feed My Starving Children. With them, for instance, we sponsor an annual 1-Million Meal Pack involving hundreds of people in our community, ranging in age from 5 to "still breathing!"
