Rise Residential

All of us are created in the image of God and gifted with a unique purpose. RISE seeks to empower individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities to activate their full potential by providing a healthy, welcoming, and collaborative community through a variety of paths, including weekly group gatherings (currently serving more than 50 families), internship opportunities, and a future residential village on the North end of Centerpoint’s 10th St. campus. These homes will provide a long-term housing solution for individuals that are often overlooked and are longing to be invited, welcomed, known, supported, cared for, needed, and loved.

Impact and Testimonials

“The RISE internship and weekly gatherings have given our daughter the opportunity to cultivate genuine friendships for the first time in her life, to discover who she is in Jesus, and to stretch and grow in her gifts of serving, worship, and showing hospitality.”

“We asked God to provide real friends for our daughter, for meaningful social interactions; for her to feel valuable and to have purpose in her life. He has provided all of this and more within a loving Christ-centered community that is more than we could've EVER asked or imagined.”

“Our son’s internship experience at Centerpoint with RISE has been so valuable for growing his confidence, independence and understanding of his ability to contribute to the body of Christ.”
