ARISE WOMEN
A DESIRE FOR FELLOWSHIP
ARISE WOMEN began in January 2018, when founder Elizabeth Knechtli—then a mother of two young children—longed for meaningful fellowship with other Christian women. Believing others shared that same desire for connection and encouragement, she began what was then called Christian Women’s Fellowship.
Today, ARISE WOMEN exists to meet women where they are, encourage them in their walk with Christ, and equip and empower them for their daily lives. Whether in family, career, ministry, or everyday life, we want women to grow more like Christ, embrace their God-given purpose, and live with faith, strength, love, and joy.
Our strength and joy are found in knowing that God is a loving Father who meets us where we are and faithfully works in and through us.
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and
never fails to bear fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV
