New version of Arise Vision

We are in the final stages of revising and producing a new updated version of the Arise Manifesto, our big picture, researched, Biblical, holistic and practical vision for a better world. Check out the current version on our website here and watch out for the new revised version coming your way soon. It has so much to say about God’s plan for our world, and our mission as his people to play our part in bringing that about. (10 Mar 2026)

Christian festivals

These are great opportunities for Christians to meet, seek God together and grow in our faith. Pray they will be great opportunities for more and more people to catch hold of the Arise vision. Watch this space for more info soon. (4 Mar 2026)

Arise Council of Reference

The Arise Council of Reference held its latest online meeting earlier this month.  It’s an incredible group of people with huge faith, skill and experience who act as a wise sounding board and guidance.  This time it looked at how we can grow the Arise movement more widely.  It also looked at recruiting new great people to the Council of Reference.  Contact Arise if you are interested in volunteering with us in this or any other way info@ariseuk.org  (26 Feb 2026)

Coming soon to a church near you!
Arise is launching a brand-new 7-part course for churches, built around the Arise Manifesto. Designed to inspire and equip, the course helps churches rediscover God’s mission and live it out in five connected ways: sharing faith, growing disciples, tackling injustice, ending poverty, and caring for creation — all as part of God’s Kingdom. Interested in running the Arise course in your church? Get in touch with us info@ariseuk.org (5 Feb 2026)

Set up an Arise group in your church

More and more Christians are feeling called to pray and act for peace, freedom, an end to poverty, and the restoration of God’s creation. But we don’t yet have enough local Arise groups to connect everyone. We’re inviting volunteers to start an Arise group in their church. It’s simple: share the vision, choose a time to meet, see who comes, and begin together. Arise will support you every step of the way. Contact us if you feel called to get involved info@ariseuk.org (27 Jan 2026)

Modern Slavery training

Local church Arise groups are launching inspiring initiatives. For example, the group at St Saviour’s Sunbury is hosting a half-day modern slavery training event on 28 February, raising awareness of human trafficking in our own communities. If you’re nearby, do sign up, come along and get involved — and get in touch to join an Arise group at a church near you. (12 Jan 2026)
