How it all started...
In April of 2017 during a season of prayer and fasting, Pastor Matt Reece and his wife Carrie felt God calling them to plant a new church. Shortly thereafter, a conversation took place with Ignite Church Planting, and in November of 2017, they committed to planting in Dyer, Indiana. The property at 704 Joliet Street was a former church who had decided to close and make room for a new church. Through a partnership with Ignite Church Planting and The Solomon Foundation, we were ready to begin the process of starting this new church.
We were ready to start but knew we needed help. We received keys to the property in January 2018 and an extensive remodel of the inside began. We were fortunate to have some amazing volunteers—like John Moes and others—donate time and energy to transform our building.

Expanding the vision...
A partnership with The Solomon Foundation and Ignite Church Planting was created that would provide the strategic and financial support needed to make a new church a reality.
In April 2018, the new church was named Rise Church.
We started building a team of volunteers to help launch this new church. These people prayed, worked on the facility, served in ministry areas, gave sacrificially, and invited family and friends to join in the journey.
Our team grew to about 18 adults prior to our first service, and on October 14, 2018, we opened our doors for our first official service.

Where we are headed...
We want to help people take their next steps toward God and see lives changed and a region transformed. We are excited to be a part of something new in this region. We love where we are as a new church, but this is only the beginning not the destination.
