Rise Church

What Rise Church does

Rise Church is a non-profit Christian church headquartered in Visalia, California, operating a dual-campus model with a North Campus at 1023 N Chinowth St (three Sunday services) and a South Campus at 5702 W Caldwell Ave launching March 15, 2026 (two Sunday services), supplemented by an online campus streaming live on YouTube. The church serves congregants across the Visalia/Tulare County region and beyond, with a multicultural congregation spanning 17 languages and a member base engaged across age-specific ministries including RiseKids (infants through 5th grade), Rise Students (middle and high school), Young Adults, Women's and Men's ministries, and 12+ care ministries addressing grief, addiction, recovery, hospitalization, and family crisis. Rise runs over 30 small groups meeting weekly across homes, coffee shops, and campuses, and over 30 volunteer ministry teams covering greeters, production, worship, care, and missions.

The church's technology footprint is modest and largely off-the-shelf: a SnapPages-hosted website (risevisalia.com), YouTube live streaming via @RiseChurchTV and @RiseChurchTVSouth channels, a Subsplash-powered contact and prayer request form system, and an online giving platform supporting credit/debit card, bank account, eCheck, and recurring donations. No proprietary software, app, or AI/ML capability is developed or disclosed. Digital touchpoints function primarily as communication and distribution channels rather than as differentiated technology assets.

Rise's revenue model is entirely donation-based, consisting of voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, with no pricing structure, fees, or commercial revenue streams. All services, programs, and ministries are provided free of charge. The go-to-market approach is community-led: new visitors are welcomed through a Connection Center, first-visit gifts, Rise Cafe free beverages, and coffee chats with leaders; discipleship pathways include baptism (monthly), small groups, ministry team service, and mission trips. The church maintains global mission partnerships with Converge (Japan, Togo, Thailand), Samaritan's Purse (Operation Christmas Child), World Vision (Honduras child sponsorship), and Puentes DR (Dominican Republic), and operates a Rise Adoption Fund for adoption expense grants. The organization is led by Pastor Jarrod McClintick, who also serves as Church Starting Lead for Converge Pacwest for the Central Valley.
