We believe that church should be a place that is full of life, excitement, and the transforming Presence of God. Our praise team will lead you into worship that is energetic and passionate. We teach from the Bible in a powerful but practical way, and we love others compassionately. From the quality nursery and fun-filled children’s church to the relevant and inspiring teaching, there is something for everyone! Most importantly, you will experience the Presence of God. If you have any questions beyond anything you can find here on The Rising Church website, please feel free to go to our contact page and take advantage of the many ways we have for you to reach out to us.

What We Believe
Get to know more about what makes us different.
The Word
We believe the Bible to be the Holy Spirit inspired, authoritative Word of God and that it is eternally reliable. (2 Timothy 3:15-17)
God
We believe there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living beings. He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), as the Son (Savior), and as the Holy Spirit (indwelling Spirit).
Baptism
We believe in water baptism by immersion as Jesus commanded and led by example and as the disciples preformed in the early church. Through baptism we identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Matt 28:19-20; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-6.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is given to the believer upon salvation to lead and guide them into all truth. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is given to all believers that desire it with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues. Acts 2:4
Gifts of the Spirit
We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy; words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, healing, helps and government.
Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 2 Corinthians 12:1-11

our pastor
Bishop Barry Camp
Barry Camp began his call in ministry in 1988. In 1999 he was called and founded Harvest Praise Church (presently known as The Rising Church) in Morganton NC. Pastor Camp’s heart is to produce true, mature disciples of Jesus Christ. He has a heart to see Pastors encouraged and energized in Jesus.

They are blessed to have two children, Kristin and her husband Jerome, and Dustin and his wife Leah, that work side-by- side with their parents in the ministry.
