Building a Community of Faith: The Journey of Arise Jesus Community Centre
A Journey Rooted in Faith
Since its establishment in 2003, the Arise Jesus Community Centre has been a vital touchpoint for spiritual growth, community development, and outreach efforts. Originating from humble beginnings, the Centre transformed from a small shack in Jabulile, Orange Farm, into a flourishing worship space, driven by unwavering faith and the community's collective effort.
Our Core Mission
At Arise Jesus Community Centre, our mission revolves around:
- Fulfilling the Great Commission (Mark 16:15) by evangelizing and spreading the Gospel.
- Establishing outreach programs that serve the local community, such as our soup kitchen.
- Developing leaders to expand our reach and establish new branches.
- Encouraging communal support through prayer groups and home cells (Acts 2:46-47).
Branches of Growth
Our main branch is located at 17078 Extension 9, Phase 3, Johannesburg, and we have recently branched out to Kokotela, Lawley. This growth showcases our commitment to nurturing faith within various neighborhoods and ensuring that we meet individuals where they are.
