We are receiving applications now for Riza 2021!
riza (root)
The Riza Experience is based in Corvallis, Oregon in partnership with a micro-church network called The Hive Communities. Riza will expose students to a collage of learning experiences meant to challenge their thinking through practical and spiritual instruction, and stretch their physical capacities through service projects, adventure trips and team building exercises. Our aim is for students to know God, understand themselves, rely on a faith community, and lovingly serve the people and places they inhabit. Like the name (riza means root), the hope of The Riza Experience is to release young adults to “take root downward and bear fruit upward” (Isaiah 37:31) for the glory of Jesus and for the rest of their lives.
How to Start
We would love to have you join us on this discipleship adventure. If you are interested becoming a student, here are the next steps.

Riza immerses students in discipleship as a lifestyle, not just as head knowledge.
Due to potential COVID related travel restrictions/uncertainty, we will determine the details of Phase 3 and graduation dates during Phase 1.

Riza participants will be encouraged to join the Hive Communities for worship. With opportunities to use their gifts, it is a great way to plug into the community of believers.
