RiSE

A special worship team of BBC students

  • Ministering to local churches, schools, and camps.

  • Training young people for global Christian leadership.

  • Building relationships with future students.

The RiSE team travels on behalf of BBC, making stops at locations across many states. The tours for each new team begin in May and continue throughout the summer and into the school year.

Keep up with RiSE on Facebook here.

The name RiSE comes from the team’s purpose: To see Jesus’ name (which must increase) lifted higher to rise above all other names (which must decrease).

RiSE uses music and art to help people realize the presence of God and to respond accordingly. As part of this, team members develop relationships of encouragement and create interest among future students by showing them how BBC can assist them in their life and global Christian leadership development.
