Welcome to Arise Church! As pastor to Arise, I want to invite you to worship with us if you do not have an in-person faith community. When you enter our sanctuary on a Sunday morning, you will experience what we mean when we say “where faith and friends connect” and you’ll quickly discover family you never knew you had!
Arise Church started in 1996 as a fresh approach to bringing the Good News of Jesus to the Pinckney community. Nearly 30 years later we are still looking for new ways to continue loving and serving our neighbors. We see serving all of our neighbors as our mission—we want you to experience God’s hospitality through our efforts as a church.
Our hope is that whether you attend a service, join a support group, receive groceries from our food pantry, participate in our annual DogFest, or simply bring your pup to our dog park, you will see our church as a place of hope and encouragement.
If you ever need anything, please let us know! You can email me at pastorjonathan@arisechurch.org or call the church at (734) 878-1928.
