Stories of Transformation

Northrise humbly recognizes itself as the source of many stories of transformation. In and through Christ, individual lives and communities have experienced redemption, reconciliation, restoration, and renewal as students are matriculated, acculturated, and educated at Northrise. Through both our academic programs and emphasis on spiritual formation, critical and enduring change is realized within our student body on a daily basis. Here, we present some touching and inspirational accounts of the impact of Christ’s work on and beyond our campus.
