What People Are Saying

"RAISE28 has been a gift to my children and family. This is the first place they made friends after moving to the area. RAISE28 is so involved in the community that my children are able to experience so much outside of school." - RAISE28 Parent

"RAISE28 is an incredible gift to our Donegal community! We are so appreciative of their never-ending support of providing school supplies for any child in need, no questions asked. Additionally - we know that we can always count on them to provide a safe place for students to gather, a meal so no one goes hungry, and support they may not receive anywhere else." - Donegal School District Social Worker

"RAISE28" is like a second home." - RAISE28 Teen

Thank you for prayerfully considering this giving opportunity!

RAISE28- Core Values

Jesus Centric:  At RAISE28, we humbly recognize our need for Jesus and submit to his Lordship over our lives and ministry. We are communally and individually committed to abiding in Jesus. We introduce Jesus and his way of life to our students. We seek his guidance for all decisions. He is enthroned, worshipped and glorified at RAISE28. 

Human Flourishing:  At RAISE28, we honor the dignity and worth of every human being as image bearers of God. We are intentional about creating safe spaces for each person to be authentic and experience abundant life through Jesus. We facilitate flourishing by providing opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. 

Authentic Relationships:  At RAISE28, we seek to build, nurture, and prioritize authentic relationships. We follow the model of Jesus in our pursuit of relational disciple making. We understand that we are more effective when we work together and offer ourselves fully to one another. 

Joy Filled Moments:  At RAISE28, we delight in God’s gifts for us and share moments of laughter, fun, and joy. 

Thoughtful Stewardship:  At RAISE28, we are mindful of the time, talents, and treasure God has entrusted to us. We use these gifts wisely for His glory and the advancement of his work in our community. 

Courageous Leadership:  At RAISE28, we lead with courage. We exhibit courage in our obedience to Jesus, in our sharing of the gospel, and in the ways we invite others to participate in our mission. We are not paralyzed by fear or insecurity, but rather empowered by the Spirit to do good work and be encouraged by Jesus’ promise that he will be with us until the very end of the age.
