The Vision.
In line with the desires of Jesus, the Head of the Church, we are not just another congregation or ministry but have been enabled by the Grace of God to manifest the concept of church as a living, loving organism of activated body parts. As brethren, we feed regularly on the Word to grow up into The Head in all things and into each other.
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.”
A living, loving organism of activated body parts.
Not another religious organisation – a body where every part is alive, loved and functioning.
Through the model of Church as School, rather than a theatre, we practise the Teach, Train, Equip, Activate and Release process promoted by the Global School of Ministry.
The five-step process.
Promoted by the Global School of Ministry and practised by every saint at Arise.
Teach
The Word is taught systematically so that saints know the truth.
Train
Believers are trained to apply the Word in life and ministry.
Equip
Tools, skills and spiritual gifts are developed for service.
Activate
Saints begin to function in their gifts under supervision.
Release
Able ministers are released to serve in the church, the community and the nations.
The result is twofold
Disciples, not spectators
All the brethren are challenged to die to self and embrace the sovereign rule of Jesus over their lives as His disciples.
A global leader in restoration
Arise Metropolitan Assembly has become a global leader in the restoration of the priesthood of all believers.
The Mission.
Arise Metropolitan Assembly has a 360-degree mission focus. We do not dwell on any but embrace all:
Pastoral Care for the flock
Our Pastoral teams provide pastoral support for the brethren so that none falls through the cracks. The overall care is holistic: spiritual, emotional, material, and regular access to leadership.
Soul Winning
Consistent soul winning through consistent evangelism. Preaching Jesus and His Kingdom, sinners are presented with the simple gospel to reconcile with the Father and become His new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:17-19.
Discipleship
Through consistent study of the Word, believers have their hearts transformed and minds renewed to become real disciples of the Lord. Matthew 28:19-20.
Ministry Training
Through consistent training, disciples transition through discovery of their gifts and callings to become able ministers of the new covenant, priests after the order of Melchizedek. 1 Peter 2:9-10.
Transformation Impact
This ministry is invested in the transformation of the host community. We are involved in projects such as feeding the homeless, cooperating with a night shelter, prayers for the community and supporting worthy causes.
Missions
We are active in missions. Our ministers have made a dynamic impact upon mission fields in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Support base for related ministries and visions
This ministry actively supports the visionaries to fulfil all other visions committed to their trust by the Lord: International Ministers Fellowship, We Care International, Global Missions Board and Global Advanced Mentorship Program.
Catalyst of the Great Commission
Arise Metropolitan Assembly is being used by the Holy Spirit to demonstrate how the Great Commission can be fulfilled in our time through the ministry of the Word. Teachers from the ministry constitute the Global Faculty of the Global School of Ministry, fanning out across cities of the UK and nations of the world.
We are a Fivefold assembly where Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers work together.
