Join us at RISE Nation Church!

Since 2016, RISE has been serving the DC community, spreading love, unity, and the hope of Christ. Now, as we officially launch our church, we need your support to continue reaching those in need. Your giving will help fund essential ministry tools—such as technology for streaming services, seating, tables, evangelism efforts, and our growing kids' ministry. Together, we can make an impact and build a movement of love and transformation.

Help us RISE to the call!

“ A CHURCH FOR ALL PEOPLE”

  • OUR MISSION

    We exist to equip generations to RISE in Christ, calling and community.

  • OUR VISION

    To be a multi-ethnic, multi-generational, multi-site, missional church.

2026: ROOTED

2026 is our ROOTED year. Before we can "Rise," we must first go deep. To be rooted means to be anchored in Christ so that your life is nourished, stable, and sustained, regardless of the surface conditions. Key Principle: A plant cannot sustain upward growth without a functional root system. Growth must be matched underground, or collapse follows. God is calling us to become a people who are deeply anchored in Christ, living from health, not hype. ROOTED speaks to who we are becoming, not just what we are doing.

Thank you for your donations, we’ve reached our goal.

Meet our Leaders

Christian & Matt


In 2013, after coming back from a mission trip to South Africa, and feeling the Holy Spirit moving in my life, I heard very clearly one night while in prayer that I would preach the Gospel and plant a church.

I am honored to have the support of my husband, Matt Aaron, who I met on the campus of Howard University over a decade ago. Our passions and purposes aligned after realizing we both were called to impact generations through our entrepreneurial and innovative spirits………………………………
