Rise Church is a local church based in Adelaide and Phnom Penh. We have a vision to see people become all that God has called them to be, and a mission to make a difference in our world through the truth, hope and love of Jesus Christ.
OUR PASTORS
Ps Tim and Ps Venessa Kreis are the Lead Pastors of Rise Church.
They have been married since 2007 and have two beautiful daughters, Ella & Leah.
Ps Tim developed his ministry in Rise Church, serving as our Youth Pastor and then as our Associate Pastor, before transitioning to Lead Pastor in 2016. Ps Tim has also served as the Youth Alive Director for South Australia.
Pastor Tim and Ps Venessa have a heart for raising leaders and they have been extensively involved in developing the next generation of leaders across the greater church both in Australia and abroad.
OUR HISTORY
Established in 1995, Rise Church began in a Bi-Lo shopping centre under the name North East Christian Centre. Our church has undergone several name changes and location changes over the last twenty years. Today, Rise Church is one church in two locations, Adelaide and Phnom Penh. We are also reaching people through our online platform, Rise Online. Our mission is the same today as it was when we began many years ago, to make a difference in our community and in our world, through the truth, hope and love of Jesus.

We create impacting leaders
We pursue the impossible
