We're ordinary people following an extraordinary Jesus.
Root & Rise Church is a contemporary Christian church for ordinary people at every stage of life — and we'd love for you to be part of the story.
Started small. Growing on purpose.
Root & Rise began in 2021 as a small community meeting in a living room in São Paulo — a handful of people who believed church could be simpler, warmer and more honest than what they'd experienced before.
What started as a few chairs and a lot of coffee has grown into a church family that still holds onto that same conviction: nobody should have to navigate life alone.
“To help people know Jesus, find community and live out their God-given purpose.”
“To see a generation transformed by Jesus, strengthened by community and sent to transform their world.”
Our values.
Jesus First
Everything begins and ends with Jesus.
People Matter
Every person is created in God's image and deserves to be known, loved and valued.
Authenticity
You don't have to pretend here.
Growth
Following Jesus means becoming more like Him.
Generosity
We don't just receive. We contribute.
Courage
Faith should move us beyond comfort and into action.
Meet Our Founders
Lead Pastors Of Our Church
Daniel & Sarah Oliveira planted Root & Rise in 2021 after years of serving in local churches and community ministries. Daniel is passionate about helping people discover that Christianity isn't simply a Sunday activity — it's a way of life.
Sarah leads the church's family and community initiatives and has a particular heart for helping people build meaningful relationships.
Outside church, they enjoy good food, terrible coffee and trying to keep up with their two children.
Come see it for yourself.
The best way to understand who we are is to visit on a Sunday.
