Rise Up Student Ministry is a gospel-centered movement for students in grades 6-12 in Genoa, Ohio. We exist to help students encounter Jesus, discover their purpose, and rise up as leaders in their generation. This isn't just another youth group—we're building a community where students are known, challenged, and equipped to live boldly for Christ. We believe students aren't just the future of the church—they're a vital part of the church TODAY.

What We Value
What We Value
CHRIST-CENTERED TEACHING
Jesus is the foundation of everything we do. We teach God's Word clearly, practically, and in ways that connect to real life.
AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS
We're not running a program - we're building a family. Students need adults and peers who know them, care about them, and walk with them.
BIBLICAL TRUTH
Scripture isn't outdated or irrelevant - it's exactly what students need to navigate life, identity, relationships, and purpose.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
We believe students can lead today, not just someday. We're intentional about creating opportunities for students to serve, grow, and step into their God-given potential.
FAMILY PARTNERSHIP
We're not trying to replace parents - we're here to support families in raising students who love Jesus and live with integrity.
What To Expect
What To Expect
Our gatherings are designed to be fun, engaging, and meaningful. Here's what a typical night looks like:
✓ High-energy games - We start with fun because relationships matter
✓ Worship - Students encounter God through music and prayer
✓ Relevant teaching - Short, practical messages from God's Word that connect to real life.
✓ Small groups - Guys and girls break out to discuss, ask questions, and go deeper
✓ Food & hangout time - Because the best conversations happen over pizza
Our heart is to create an environment where faith, friendships, and fun come together - where students don't just attend, they belong.
