Rise Church Amherst

About this church

Rise Church Amherst begins worship at 10 a.m. Sunday at 460 West Street, with an online stream available at the same hour. A typical visit opens with three or four contemporary worship songs followed by a 35- to 40-minute message grounded in Scripture. There is no dress code, free parking is next to the building, and greeters can help guests find a seat or coffee. Rise Kids serves children from birth through fifth grade during worship, and conversation continues over coffee after the service.

The congregation grew from a living-room gathering into a multigenerational church focused on Amherst's students, families, and neighbors. It belongs to the Redeemed Christian Church of God and describes itself as a diverse, Spirit-filled community that connects people with God, builds community, teaches Scripture, and sends people to serve. Three recurring small groups approach the Bible differently: Word Unfolded meets Monday at 7 p.m. for chronological study, Bible Characters meets Tuesday at 6, and The Gospels meets Wednesday at 6:30 to study the life of Jesus. The beliefs page emphasizes biblical authority, the Trinity, Christ's death and resurrection, salvation, the Holy Spirit, and spiritual gifts. A newcomer can start with Sunday worship and stay for coffee, then select the study method that best fits how they learn.
