Rising Ground Church · The Divine Flow Campus
From Striving
To Flow
The Divine Flow Campus is a physical expression of Rising Ground Church's commission: giving believers room to stop fighting the current, recognize where God is moving, and learn to move with Him. It is not a retreat, a counseling facility, or a place transformation is completed. It is a catalyst inside a much larger journey — where identity in Christ becomes clearer as people learn to respond to His leadership.
Target Range
$975k — $2.04M
Acreage
3 — 5 Acres
Tiny Homes
3 × 2-Bedroom
A Word From Our Founders · 2:17
Before you tour the campus, hear the philosophy behind it.
Our Vision
Room to move with God, not a destination.
The Divine Flow Campus is a physical expression of Rising Ground Church's commission to help believers recognize God's movement and learn to move with Him — slowing down, becoming attentive, surrendering resistance, and becoming increasingly positioned, surrendered, and responsive to His leadership. It is not a place for more teaching, information, counseling, or answers. It is a catalyst where what God has already begun revealing can become increasingly lived. Identity clarity and formation are fruit that develops within learning to move with Him.
People can receive correct teaching, Scripture, and revelation while still being internally positioned in ways that interfere with how they receive, interpret, and respond to God. The Campus creates space to become aware of that internal orientation, surrender to God's process, and grow spiritually malleable—no longer controlled by expectations, fear, striving, previous experiences, or the need for certainty.
The Campus belongs to the same Rising Ground ecosystem as the 90-Day Formation Journey, online teachings, books, counseling, and future ministry tools. For some, formation may have already begun through the 90-Day Journey; the Campus then provides an embodied environment where that internal formation can deepen through prayer, rest, reflection, mentoring, community, and real-life participation. Both experiences remain distinct—neither is an application, prerequisite, or guarantee for the other. Together they help believers stop fighting the current and learn to float in the Divine Flow: positioned in Christ, responsive to His unique leadership.
To be clear about scope: the Divine Flow Campus is not therapy, mental health treatment, medical treatment, addiction recovery, crisis stabilization, housing, or long-term residential care. Pastoral leaders and mentors are present to help create an environment for recognition, biblical clarity, surrender, and response — not to tell participants what God is saying or to become their source of spiritual direction. The Holy Spirit reveals and renews; the environment simply makes room.

The Grounds
The environment is a tool, not the attraction.
Tiny homes, walking paths, prayer spaces, and gardens are intentionally designed to help believers slow down and become attentive to God. The environment serves the process; it does not produce the outcome. Tap any numbered marker to step inside a space.

Learning to Move With God
Reveal · Renew · Practice · Return.
Four movements describing how the Campus helps someone recognize where God is moving, surrender what resists Him, and practice responding — then carry that home into everyday life.
These are movements, not scheduled stages. They may occur naturally and repeatedly — Reveal at breakfast, Renew on a walk, Practice in an unexpected conversation, Reveal again that afternoon.
Step 1 of 4
Reveal
Slow down long enough to become attentive. The environment simply makes room; the Holy Spirit surfaces the beliefs, expectations, and assumptions that have been fighting against His movement. It begins with honest sight — not shame, but clarity.
The Participant Experience
A rhythm, not a program.
Just as a physical campus provides an environment where learning becomes lived experience, the Divine Flow Campus gives believers room to practice the spiritual responsiveness they have already begun learning. It doesn't manufacture Divine Flow — it reduces some of the ordinary noise, pressure, striving, and distraction that make God's movement hard to recognize.
The goal isn't “I experienced God better at the Campus.” It's “I am becoming better able to recognize and move with God wherever I am.”
Freedom to slow down
No pressure to produce revelation, accomplish something spiritual, or manufacture an outcome.
Freedom to notice
Attentiveness to God, Scripture, yourself, conversation, creation, silence, and whatever naturally comes into awareness.
Freedom to respond
Walk, pray, rest, write, sit quietly, talk with someone, enjoy the grounds — or simply remain still.
Freedom to interact
Leadership is present and available, but participants are not continually monitored or spiritually managed.
From interest to ordinary life
What we ask
The application is short and conversational. It exists to help leadership understand what is already happening — not to prove spiritual qualification. There is no readiness score.
- What has been happening in your relationship with God lately that made you interested in spending time at the Campus?
- Is there something you sense God drawing you toward that you don't completely understand yet?
- What have you already done — or felt willing to do — in response to what you've been recognizing?
- What do you believe a few days in this environment would give you room for?
When a stay isn’t the right environment
The Campus is not the appropriate environment when someone’s primary need is crisis intervention, emergency stabilization, mental-health or medical treatment, addiction recovery, housing, intensive counseling, or long-term residential support.
It is also not the right fit when someone primarily expects leadership to tell them what God is saying, or expects a guaranteed answer, a produced breakthrough, or to remain until an answer comes. In those cases we simply say a Campus stay isn’t the right environment for what is needed at this time — not as spiritual rejection, and not as failure.
The 90-Day Formation Journey may help reveal or develop readiness, but completing it does not qualify someone for a stay, and a stay does not require it. Formation grows awareness of how a person recognizes, surrenders, positions, and responds; the Campus gives that responsiveness an environment to be lived.
The environment serves the process; it does not produce the outcome. The huts, pavilion, grounds, labyrinth, quiet, meals, and leadership presence create room. God remains the source, and the participant remains responsible for recognizing and responding.
Section Five · The Need
The Need & Long-Term Impact
Across local communities, regions, and online spaces, believers are increasingly aware that something in their walk with God is not forming. Many have inherited the language of Christianity without ever being formed into their identity in Christ. Others carry distorted perspectives about God, themselves, and grace that quietly prevent them from living freely. The Divine Flow Campus exists to give believers room to recognize where God is moving, surrender what has been resisting Him, and learn to move with Him.
A Pause
Why this
matters
Rising Ground Church believes that environment shapes formation. Many believers have not stopped desiring God — they have simply been unable to slow down long enough to identify the beliefs, expectations, and assumptions that are keeping them from living freely in Him. Formation requires clarity, and clarity requires space.
The Divine Flow Campus is intentionally designed as that space — an environment where Scripture, prayer, rest, and unhurried conversation make room for the Holy Spirit to bring clarity and renew perspective.
Unlike a retreat center or clinical counseling facility, the campus is not where transformation is completed. It is the catalyst — a place to begin or accelerate the lifelong walk of “Divine Flow” — recognizing God's movement and responding to it in every ordinary moment of everyday life.

Stewardship
How we steward what you give.
You aren't investing in cabins or facilities. You're investing in an environment intentionally designed to give believers room to recognize God's movement and learn to move with Him — with the hope that a living, experiential relationship with Christ grows from it. We honor that with transparency, discipline, and stewardship built to last.
Shepherded Oversight
Every dollar is stewarded through Rising Ground Church's governing leadership, with direct oversight from Pastor Jamal and Prophetess LaShaundra Christmas.
Transparent Reporting
Phase-by-phase financial reporting, donor receipts, and quarterly campus progress updates sent directly to every partner.
Sustainable Footprint
Tiny-home design, native landscaping, and walking paths keep operating costs low and let the environment serve the process rather than drive it.
100% Restricted to Campus
Capital gifts are restricted to the build — land, structures, grounds, and permits — never absorbed into general operating overhead.
A Word From the Founders
Why we're building the Divine Flow Campus.
"The Divine Flow Campus is not where transformation is completed. It is the immersive catalyst that helps believers recognize where God is moving and learn to move with Him — one integrated part of the Rising Ground ecosystem."
This campus is not a building project. It is an environment intentionally designed to help believers slow down, become attentive, surrender what has been resisting God's leadership, and practice responding to Him.
A weekend at the campus does not complete formation — no environment can. What the campus does is set the process in motion, then hand it off to the wider ministry: online teachings, books, counseling, mentorship, and supporting tools such as the RGC Counseling Assistant/Ministry Companion, available once someone is home. Together they serve one commission, anchored in Christ's identity perspective.
We invite you in — not as a transaction, but as a co-laborer in the lifelong walk with God. You aren't funding cabins. You're funding the environment where believers can recognize His movement and learn to move with Him — in the hope that inherited Christianity gives way to a living relationship with Christ.
