AREAS WE WOULD LIKE TO GROW

CARE

We are laser focused in two areas of community care; foster care and the recovery community. We want to become a bigger blessing and grow those ministries. We host recovery groups and foster care clinics in a less than hospitable room. One way we want to sow seeds into our Care Ministry is to redesign and remodel the Mixed Use Space to better serve those communities.

COMMUNITY

At Rhiza, we’re more than just a church; we’re a community rooted in love and connection. In an attempt to cultivate community, we aim to renovate the lobby. By knocking down walls, raising the ceiling, adding seating areas and a cozy coffee shop, we’re creating an environment for relationships to flourish. Imagine a space where people can linger, conversations blossom, and connections take root, not just on Sundays but throughout the week.

This is about more than just a renovation—it’s about growing closer as a family. Join us in nourishing Rhiza’s mission by helping our community grow stronger, more connected, and deeply rooted in each other and God’s love.

COFFEE

You read that right…Rhiza is gonna have coffee! At Rhiza, coffee helps us grow “care” and “community.”  Coffee encourages folks to come early and stay late, in turn building community. Rhiza Coffee grows care by designating the proceeds towards local foster care organizations and families. We also have a long term vision of keeping the coffee shop open throughout the week. This would allow us to grow community as people spend time together over coffee. It also allows the care ministry to grow as even more proceeds will be given to foster families.

KIDS

Every Sunday, our kids’ area is alive with laughter, singing, and the joy of children growing in faith. It’s a place where leaders connect deeply, investing in each child who walks through our doors. As Rhiza Kids has grown, our dedicated team has worked wonders on a limited budget, finding creative ways to adapt and keep up. Now, to support this growing ministry, we’re inviting you to partner with us in taking the next step: investing in new furniture, fixtures, and equipment to create a welcoming, inspiring space where kids can thrive. Your support will help us create a place that matches the heart and energy of Rhiza Kids.

SAFETY

Our community of light stands as a beacon in a world that can feel dark, and at Rhiza, we’re deeply committed to protecting the hearts of everyone who walks through our doors. Now, we’re taking steps to ensure their physical safety, too. As our ministries grow and evening activities increase, it’s essential that our building and grounds are secure and well-lit.

To meet these needs, we’re seeking your support. We aim to install better lighting around our property, ensuring safe passage and visibility for all. Additionally, we plan to add comprehensive camera coverage across every area, along with a security alarm system that will notify authorities in case of an emergency. This is an investment in safety and peace of mind for our entire community. We are praying for people to help us create a safe, welcoming space for all who gather here? Your generosity will help us make Rhiza a haven where everyone can feel protected and cared for.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We are accepting seeds in the way of financial gifts and pledges that will go towards growing care, community, and coffee. If you cannot commit financially, there are other ways to get involved. You may not have finances, but you may know someone you can share our story who could give. You can also get involved by getting your hands dirty during the demolition and remodeling process. Lastly, Rhiza could use your constant prayers. We are asking that you pray about your financial commitment. When you’re ready to commit, simply fill out the Grow Gift commitment card and then give through the Rhiza app. You can also keep an eye out for serving opportunities throughout the year.
