ARISE is a para-church ministry dedicated to the continuous revival and sustenance of second generation faith in the Korean Church of New England through worship, community, and unity for the past 28 years. There are two main retreats: the bigger conference, directed toward the youth, is the Summer Retreat; however, ARISE has in recent years expanded its reach to english-speaking adults and the greater second generation of New England, adding an adult weekend retreat called Dwelling Place to their yearly activities.

“On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting. Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead. Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “He’s alive!” Then he went upstairs again and broke bread and ate. After talking until daylight, he left. The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.” - Acts 20:7-12

“Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, ARISE.”” -Mark 5:41
