Welcome to Young People Arise

Inspiring & Empowering the Next Generation

Young People Arise is a youth focused organization dedicated to helping young individuals understand their value, identity, and purpose. Through faith-based mentorship, community support, and personal growth programs, we guide youth toward a life of excellence and impact.

In the past four years YPA has successfully distributed food, backpacks, school supplies and bibles to more than 500 families. We have distributed, coats, holiday gifts baskets and items to prepare families for the winter months. In addition, we have hosted prayer walks and visited nursing homes.

It takes a village to raise a child

What Our Customers Say?

Young People Arise is not only a safe haven for children, but it’s also expected by parents whose children are involved. Although YPA is a distance from our location, they are adamant about meeting the needs of the YOUTH in its entirety. My children look forward to setting aside time to virtually chime in to hear a Word from God, express their concerns about what is going on in the world, participate in activities, fellowship with others and more importantly, they like receiving life application techniques that equip them, to face their everyday trials. The leaders at YPA receive the youth as if they are their own. I really appreciate the moral principles the organization stands for and I am grateful to say that this is a program that I trust. I recommend this program to families every where, there is no doubt, that this is a global ministry.

Young People Arise has allowed me to flourish in my relationship with Christ and to be linked up with other young believers. We get to all pour out into each other and relate in the struggles we have as saved teens. These meetings help me to stay on top of reading the Word, so that when a person needs encouragement, the Spirit gives me a scripture to pour out. Even in the small competitions we do, they deal with the Word of God and keep everyone on their toes. It’s a blessing to be a part of such a powerful group and to hear that I’m not alone in my walk with Christ.
