RISEmovement Ordination Process
It is important and Biblical to identify and affirm the leadership call and gifting of those passionate to advance God's Kingdom through their life. RISEmovement is aimed at developing and sending pioneering leaders into their sphere of influence and grace. RISEmovement is leading a family of those that recognize they belong in a global movement of hope. When your heart feels "at home" and you desire alignment in relationship and mission, then we want to recognize that and communicate what we see in you.
We see ordination as much more than a certificate. We see it founded on relationship and transparency. We see it as a vehicle of alignment and an instrument of validation. We want this to unlock and provide a confident security to empower you even further in your call and passion.
This isn't a small step. So we encourage you to give yourself in prayer, consideration, and conversations to be assured this is a step God is leading and that your heart agrees. We do not charge fees to be ordained, but the required class has a cost. We don't require a set level of financial giving into RISEmovement, yet we have an expectation there is a generous heart to support the mission we are doing together. Personally giving and giving from your ministry/business are all options for providing support for the movement.
Ordination with RISEmovement does not deny or devalue any other credentials or ordinations you may have. This ordination does not replace or remove any other ordinations. RISEmovement is glad to add our affirmation to any previous credentials you may have received. RISEmovement is NOT a denomination so we do not require anyone disconnects or disassociations with any other fellowship/denomination you may already connect with. You are not joining a denomination. We are adding our validation to your call and providing you an alignment and relationship with other like-hearted, like-minded leaders.
Below, you will find all the steps required to complete the ordination process. Please provide all information requested. Once you have completed all steps, RISEmovement will provide a Certificate of Ordination and an Ordination Letter. At the next annual RISEconference you attend, we will have a time to lay hands on you and publicly bless and affirm you. With that, you will be invited into the Circle of Sons provided for those ordained by RISEmovement.
This is an exciting step and the next part in the journey of your calling and in relationship with RISEmovement.

3 Part Agreement with RISEmovement:
- Core Focuses
- Core Values
- Mission and Vision
By being ordained by RISEmovement, you affirm:
- You value relationship with those of RISEmovement
- You align with and partner with RISEmovement's mission
- You recognize RISEmovement's leadership in your life
- You open your heart to input, guidance, direction, and any spiritual or moral assistance from Eric Reeder and/or set RISEmovement leadership
- You will hold your life and leadership to Biblical standards of Jesus to love God and love people with the freedoms and restraints love provides for integrity and Godly morality. You'll lead by example through a servant's heart so others benefit.
Our Core Focuses:
- God as a Good Father instead of an angry judge.
- Jesus' achievement of a Superior Covenant and our invitation into it.
- Holy Spirit being our seal as sons and daughters.
- Enjoying our part in the "Family Council" of heaven and earth.
- Hope being the present reality of victory that is the result of His love and unlocks our faith to proceed.
- Living FROM what already IS (His goodness, His Kingdom, Our Sonship)
- Worship as our response to Him not our payment.
- His promise that things improve as we "run things well and cultivate glory" (the responsibility of stewardship)
- The end is better than the beginning.
Our Core Values:
- The goodness of God – this is our starting point in knowing and understanding God.Jesus is the full revelation of that reality.
- Relationship - all true impact comes through meaningful, authentic relationships. We value and honor each other. We support and encourage each other. We are in this together.
- Servant Leadership - a leader’s highest role is serving others so that they succeed to the fullest. We are looking for how we help others advance not demanding others make us advance. Jesus serving bread and wine and washing feet is the heartbeat behind our leadership.
- Knowing Father's heart/ Biblically seeing Jesus - we elevate what scripture shows us by seeing what Jesus was like, what He taught, and how He embraced people as the revealing of God as Father. We know the Father through Jesus and that shapes our hearts, minds, and lives.
- Living as sons - embracing our sonship in Christ is our place of rest and security. We enjoy the benefits and responsibilities of being sons.
- Present reality of hope - we understand Biblical hope as a solid force that anchors and is the unconditional assurance Father's goodness prevails.
- Generational Synergy - we see the Bible present the design of generations to live synergistically. The Old Covenant had only elders carrying what was to be done. The New Covenant is the better way of 3 generations doing it together. Malachi prophecied hearts would turn, and Joel prophecied 3 generations would have a role when the Spirit poured out. Peter stated the Spirit poured out and what Joel spoke of is in play now. We accomplished more together than what we do separately added together.
- Improving what is broken, Innovators for progress - We are those given to rebuilding ruined cities (Isa 61:4). We are leading in all areas to cause improvement. Christ in us is the hope of glory/beauty/improvement.
- Freeing hearts to excel in their passion. - The apostolic nature is the heart of sending/releasing. We want anyone connected with us to thrive and excel in the mission God's given them. We will send you and release you further into your destiny.
Mission:
- RISEmovement is a coming together around the goodness of Father, the completed work of Jesus that achieved a Superior Covenant, and the enjoyment of fellowship with Holy Spirit.
- We are a Global Network of HOPE full of authentic leaders in every sphere of life and society.There are meaningful relationships and strong partnerships that are unveiling the goodness of Father through The HOPE-filled Gospel.
- We are impacting lives, revealing the goodness of God, and adding to a brighter future.We are passionate to see those younger and older be the new renaissance leaders in all spheres of culture.We are thrilled with what Jesus accomplished and are living out the present reality that hope is here and as sons and daughters we get to be the display of His glory.
Vision:
- We see a global movement that reshapes the understanding of Father and liberates mature sons and daughters to form every home, community, and nation by knowing and living the heartbeat of God.
If at any time, you can no longer affirm these statements, you are free to resign this ordination and pursue other options in your journey. RISEmovement reserves the availability to walk a path of restoration if ever needed in the event of any failure in leadership, morality, or doctrinal error.
We do not require full agreement on all doctrines and value relationship over being "right". In that, we hold to accountability in serving one another into the fullness of God's calling on us all.
