The following Arisers are up for election as Elders at the February 2026 State of the Church meeting.

Kacie Campbell
Kacie, along with her husband Rodney, live in Fenton with their three children Thrice, Gwyn, and Cally. Kacie was raised in the church and is thankful to have a long history of devoted Christian women as her heritage. Her family started attending Arise in 2021 after the loss of her brother. Brokenhearted, she experienced a loving, welcoming place where she and her family could grow, heal, and make lasting friendships. She is thankful for the support of this incredible community throughout Cally’s cancer battle since 2024. In addition to serving as an elder at Arise, Kacie loves to help in the PreK class during service. Together as a family, the Campbells love to travel, visit parks, watch St Louis City play soccer, and attend as many Cardinals games as possible.

Adrienne writes, "I love the people of this church. And while serving as an elder would be out of my comfort zone a little bit, but I have been listening to sermons on Sundays about how that’s just sometimes who God calls on…so why not me?"
