The Team

What is the Launch Team?

We are a group of people coming alongside God in helping start this new faith community at the New Hope YMCA. We are passionate about inviting others into a relationship with Jesus and a life-giving community.

Learn more about how you can be a part of the team, and see what God can do through you!

Kingdom and Community

Why Join the Launch Team

Build God’s Kingdom - Looking for ways to have an impact on God’s Kingdom? Joining the Launch Team gives you a unique opportunity to play an important role in helping build the local church.

Life-Giving Relationships - The Launch Team is a great way to find community with other broken people that are committed to learning what it means to follow Jesus.

Pray, Plan and Prepare

What to Expect

Launch Meetings are designed to help pray, plan, and prepare for the start of Risen Life Church. You can expect a 90-minute gathering as we spend time in worship, a brief message from God’s Word, followed by an intermission to grab food and coffee before jumping into small groups to plan for the launch.

If you are visiting for the first time or unsure about joining the team, our intermission pro- vides a natural opportunity to leave before we transition to small groups.

Being a part of the Launch Team has been both meaningful and uplifting for us. We've got a clear Kingdom purpose and are enjoying the relationships with younger adults that are eager to learn from our years of experience. We feel very blessed to be a part of it!
