This custom version of the Church Planter Profiles website has been created as a partnership between the RIZE Church Planting Network and Gateway Leadership Initiative to help potential leadership residents discover their aptitude and readiness for church planting quickly and easily in an online environment.
RIZE Church Planting Network
RIZE is the church planting network of PCJC Network. RIZE exists to recruit, equip, nuture, and place a network of Asian church planters in growing/thriving Asian communities in strategic cities throughout the Pacific Rim and beyond!
The PCJC was founded upon the sacrificial lives of four women who reached out in faith to the first Japanese who had settled in the United States in the early 1900’s. The network was forged out of the difficult and challenging conditions of the Japanese Internment Camps of the 1940’s. It was then that several Free Methodist Pastors and congregations reached out with love, compassion to share the Gospel. The fruit of their outreach was overwhelming and led to the formation of multiple churches throughout California and Arizona.
Today, the PCJC is a multi-ethnic network of 21 churches and three preaching points, with an aggressive strategy and vision to plant churches through their newly founded RIZE Church Planting Network.
The goal of launching RIZE is to plant “20 church in 10 years” from San Diego to Seattle and beyond!
