MISSION STATEMENT
To inspire and empower individuals through fostering spiritual growth, creative expression, and community engagement. We aim to cultivate connection, provide transformative resources, and demonstrate compassion and restorative justice in our outreach efforts.
Our vision is continuing to unfold as we follow Jesus into all He has for us in this new season!
WHO WE ARE
Welcome to The Arising Global Inc, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering spritual growth, creative expression, and community engagement.
Our journey began with a vision to provide spaces where individuals could explore their creative and spiritual potential in a supportive community. We were founded in 2019, when we were presented with a unique opportunity to develop a holistic creative space in downtown Redlands. However, the 2020 pandemic drastically altered our plans and ultimately led to the loss of the building that was initially at the center of our purpose.
The physical center of our vision changed out of necessity, but the heart of our vision remains the same. Today, we host local prayer and worship initiatives, offer equipping classes, and provide opportunities for personal ministry and prayer. Our community events celebrate the arts and local artists, building a network of support and collaboration.
We believe in the power of connection and community. Through relationship building, mentoring, and networking, we aim to cultivate a vibrant creative community. Our resources, including books, curriculum, and online classes, are designed to support personal, creative, and spiritual development.
Join us in our mission to demonstrate compassion and pursue restorative justice through creative and spiritual outreach. Together, we can make a difference in our communities and beyond.
