ABOUT ARISE STUDENT MINISTRY

Arise creates space for high school students to explore faith around tables where honest questions arise — and where the next generation connects to the local church, during the school day. Students leave school with full approval and attendance credit to gather at a nearby church for real conversation about faith, identity, and purpose. At its heart, Arise exists to bring hope, purpose, and the Gospel to high school students — and to elevate local church in the process. We put tools in the hands of local pastors, leaders, and churches to reach students who would never walk into a church on their own — extending the church's reach into the one place it’s never been able to go before: the school day.

THE ROLE

The Operations & Program Coordinator keeps the operational backbone of Arise running smoothly. As Arise grows across multiple schools and communities, this role ensures that every program location has the systems, forms, materials, and support it needs to thrive — freeing program leaders and the Executive Director to focus on relationships, coaching, and vision. This is a behind-the-scenes role for someone who loves bringing order, follow-through, and excellence to the details that make a mission run. It reports directly to the Executive Director.
