Dr. Brent Simpson has been in ministry since 1998 and Pastor Ada has served alongside him since their marriage in 2000. They have been the pastors of ARISE Church since 2010. In their roles, Dr. Brent serves as the primary visionary and futurist of the church, while Pastor Ada serves as the lead intercessor and oversees all ARISE prayer, healing, and deliverance ministries, as well as all women’s ministries. Together they have led ARISE to becoming one of Outreach Magazines 100 fastest growing churches in America. Their unique vision for people to experience the presence of God comes from each of their radical conversions that forever changed their lives. Their desire is that you would experience this same type of life changing encounter with God. You can watch their testimonies below.
