Rise Above is a ministry devoted to reaching the lost and those who have never felt comfortable in a traditional church environment. As a body, we feel responsible for continuing the ministry of Jesus Christ by serving the lost and outcast believers using sub-cultural dress and music styles to create an accessible and unique church experience. We teach all who attend to worship in spirit and in truth, to disciple and raise disciples, to utilize spiritual gifts to serve God and the body of Christ. We believe the Holy Spirit has equipped us to be a light in the darkest parts of the San Antonio music scene. We challenge our ministers not to see themselves as "second class Christians", but to walk in their calling with confidence in the Holy Spirit.
