A Personal Letter From Rise's Youth Pastor

Cheyenne and I are from Springfield, Oregon, where we served as youth pastors since 2018. In July 2022, God moved us to Tujunga to start Rise Student Ministries. We moved here believing that God is going to use this ministry to transform the Foothills. Reaching our students for Christ is crucial and has the power to transform our schools, our families and this generation. God is doing something really fun here and we are eager for our students to start to experience life change that can only come from Jesus. 

Hope to see you soon,

Pastor Michael & Cheyenne Zakarian
