About Us
Through our work with restorative organizations in Jacksonville, Florida, we’ve had the privilege of getting to know women who have been sexually exploited and overcome addictions. We’ve heard their stories, cried with them and laughed with them. We’ve peeled back the labels that the world has slapped on them, and we’ve seen the potential they have to offer our community as well as the kingdom of God.
We formed Arize Together to help with the work that remains when these women are ready to launch — to build community around them, challenge barriers they experience, and empower them to thrive.
But we aren’t building Arize Together alone. Our members have spoken into this ministry and taken ownership. We have invited in allies who share our desire to encourage these women, and we are devoted in prayer to serve the One who really is the founder of this effort.

Through our faith in Jesus Christ, we strive to model his love and grace
so that our community experiences true freedom as children of God.
