Arise and live your faith more freely.

Arise Sheffield is a prayer and mission movement that invites believers in Sheffield to live their faith more freely. So far, over 2,000 believers from over 100 Sheffield churches have joined in.

The story so far…

In March 2021, over 1,500 believers from nearly 100 different churches rose up together to pray for Sheffield.

We were emboldened in our faith in a new way. We formed new local relationships, and as a result people around Sheffield encountered Jesus for the first time.

Arisers told us that they felt more purposeful, connected, and energised: their faith was exciting them in a new way.

We know God has not finished fulfilling His purposes in Sheffield, so this year - like the persistent widow from Jesus’ parable
- we're continuing to pray to see Sheffield transformed. Let’s prayer-walk together this March!

  • Rt Revd Dr Pete Wilcox, Bishop of Sheffield

  • Bishop Ralph Heskett, Bishop of Hallam

    “This year, once again, Arise will hallow the streets of Sheffield with a month’s prayer-walking during March. I am sure it will bring many blessings to our city. I look forward to sharing in the experience and being part of it.”

“Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile.

Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
