Faith doesn't mean
you won't face the storm.
It means you don't have to face it alone.
Whatever you're carrying, wherever you are in life, Raised 2 Praise is here to help you find strength through prayer, connection, and a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Find Your Way ForwardOur Purpose
Because everyone
is carrying something.
Some are facing loss.
Some are fighting addiction.
Some are rebuilding families.
Some are searching for purpose.
Some simply need to know that God has not forgotten them.
We believe nobody should have to navigate life's hardest moments without prayer, encouragement, and meaningful Christian community.
Raised 2 Praise exists to make those connections easier to find and easier to sustain.
Three ways to walk in faith.
Pray
Whatever you're carrying.
Bring your burdens, hopes, questions, and gratitude before God. Find scripture, encouragement, and prayer for the moment you're facing.

Begin Your JourneyFaith. Fellowship. Belonging.
Faith brings us together. Wherever we are.
Some connections begin in a church pew. Others begin with a prayer shared from miles away. Raised 2 Praise helps you find both—meaningful Christian gatherings in your community and online Circles where believers can pray, encourage one another, and grow together.
Find Your Circle
Connect with believers who share your desire for prayer, encouragement, and spiritual growth.
Discover CirclesRooted in Christ.
Built for real life.
We believe faith belongs in the middle of real life.
In our homes.
In our marriages and families.
In our work.
In our communities.
In our struggles.
And in the moments when we need grace most.
We believe in the power of prayer, the truth of scripture, the work of the Holy Spirit, the importance of forgiveness, and the hope of redemption through Jesus Christ. Faith should move us toward love, responsibility, service, and action.

Scripture for the journey
Colossians 3:23
(NIV)
Rooted in Tennessee.
Open to everyone.
Raised 2 Praise was born from a simple belief: people need hope, connection, and a place to grow in faith.
Inspired by the strength of East Tennessee communities and the beauty of the Smoky Mountains, our mission reaches far beyond where it began.
Wherever life finds you, there is a place for you here.
Real faith.
Real people. Real life.
- Prayer without judgment.
- Christian encouragement grounded in scripture.
- Respect for personal privacy.
- Connection to real communities.
- Practical steps toward spiritual growth.
- Compassion for people facing difficult circumstances.
We won't promise miracles, healing, or guaranteed outcomes. And we'll never imply that automated responses are written by human ministers. We simply offer prayer, scripture, and a community to walk alongside you.
Community
This gets stronger
when we do it together.
Raised 2 Praise isn't here to replace the local church. We're here to help people find connection, deepen relationships, and take their next step in faith—whether that begins at a gathering nearby or inside a Circle of believers online.
We're building relationships with churches, ministries, recovery groups and community partners who want to help people find prayer, connection and a place to keep growing.
