Ministry Leaders | Daniel & Heather Harrison
Daniel and his wife, Heather, have been the Youth Pastors for "The Rising" since October 2010. They have a special passion for young people in helping them realize that God has called the young to rise up and do great things for His kingdom. Daniel teaches young people that now is the time to grow into the men and women that God has called them to be. That is why Paul said, "When I was a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became an adult, I reasoned like an adult."
Teenagers have a big stamp of low expectations on their lives and most of them believe it. At The Rising, we work hard on instilling Biblical knowledge and confidence to stand up as those called of God and equipped to fulfill their purpose through Christ. We participate in crowd events, community outreaches, world outreaches, and in home fellowships. We believe that unity among the body of Christ is important in growing a healthy disciple of Jesus Christ.
Youth | Ministry Information
Mission: Raising up God-Seekers to infiltrate the community through the power of the Holy Spirit and the love of Jesus Christ wherever they go.
Church212º is going the extra degree to reach today’s youth. Statistics show that at the current rate of evangelism, only 4% of this generation will be saved. Of the 71 million millennial generation, 35 million are already teenagers. Statistics tell us that if they are not reached by the time they turn 18, there is an 85% chance they never will.
We have a high impact, radical, extreme approach to taking this generation. We are raising up an army of Holy Ghost-filled, fire-baptized teenagers who are on a war path to destroy the gates of hell.
When you are at The Rising, you will find exciting, rocking worship, video, drama, radical preaching, and most importantly - an experience with a real God.

Ministry of Helps is the name given to all of the ministries that have a supportive role in all that goes on at Church212º.

Ministry Leader | Daniel Harrison
A worshipper at heart with a desire to lead others in a passionate worship experience, Daniel Harrison was a born leader. He was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1987. From an early age it was apparent that he would do great things for God. After God miraculously saved him from a drug dealer’s gun shot at point blank range, Daniel began to step into his calling. He started by playing his guitar and worshipping God in a private setting with no real foresight of what would come. He began to lead worship at a local youth group and God begin to promote him quickly.
Daniel is now the worship leader of Church212º. He has sung in front of as many as 12,000 people in the Philippines and as few as 12 people in a small group setting. He is married to Heather Harrison and together they have a son named Heshmon. Daniel is a Christian song writer and has produced a worship record with a compilation of his songs. Daniel has his songs available with music, charts, and instructional videos for worship leaders and worship teams at his website: danielsworship.com.
Worship | Ministry Information
We believe that worship is one of the most important elements in a church. Daniel Harrison, our worship minister, is young; but like King David - he is all about real worship! We believe that worship brings unity and that God honors us when we join in unified worship to Him.
Our Worship:
Modern | We are utilizing up-to-date resources creating a worship experience that honors God while appealing to a new generation.
Exciting | We like it loud, bold, fresh, new and fast pace! In keeping with our vision, we are looking to stir up a passion in the hearts of those who enter in.
Real | Our worship is not a show; we believe that a true heart of worship is what God honors. For that reason, we look to Him to direct us in our worship experience.
Spirit Filled | Our worship is Spirit-led and full of God’s Glory!
Fun | We believe that worship should be fun. We should lay aside our religious ways and enjoy coming together to praise and worship our Creator.
