About Children Arise

Transforming Nations By Discipling Generations

Children Arise is a Christian movement dedicated to forming the next generation into Jesus-centered Kingdom citizens. Based in Victoria, BC, we work locally, nationally, and globally to help families, churches, and educators recover a biblical vision for discipleship that touches every part of life.

We believe that education and discipleship were never meant to be separate. Throughout history—and in the ministry of Jesus Himself—teaching has always been the means by which hearts are shaped, minds are set, and lives are transformed – for better or worse. What children learn through hearing words, seeing actions, and experiencing context, forms how they see God, the world, and their place within it.

Our heart is to see Canada—and the nations—filled with mature believers who know the story of God, trust the truth of Scripture, and joyfully give their lives to building God’s Kingdom on earth. Children Arise is not simply an organization; it is a growing collaboration of parents, pastors, educators, volunteers, and partners united around a shared calling.
