About Us

Welcome to RISE + Serve, where we blend our love for coffee and Christ into every cup.

RISE and Serve was born out of our shared love for the warmth of a great cup of coffee and the hope found in our faith. Each sip from our carefully selected blends reflects our commitment to quality, connection, and a deeper mission to inspire grace and grind in everyday life. Whether you’re tackling a busy morning or enjoying a quiet moment of reflection, our coffee is here to fuel your journey.

We’re a family-owned business started by three close friends—John Herzog, and Alton and Heather Hill. Alton and Heather, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo, and John met at church, where our families’ paths first crossed. Over the years, our friendship grew deeper as we shared countless moments together, from Sunday worship to playdates with our kids.

Thank you for being a part of our story. We’re honored to share this journey with you, one cup at a time.

Why Our Coffee

At RISE + Serve, we believe coffee should be more than just a beverage—it should be fresh, purposeful, and impactful. Unlike the coffee sitting on store shelves, where you’re often left wondering how long it’s been there or when it was roasted, our coffee is roasted within seven days of your order. This ensures every cup delivers unparalleled freshness, rich flavor, and the high quality you deserve.

We’re not interested in being another option for cheap, mass-produced coffee. Instead, we focus on providing an exceptional product that reflects our commitment to quality and care. But what truly makes our coffee special is the purpose behind it. By combining our passion for coffee with our faith in Christ, we’ve created a business that not only serves you but serves a greater mission.

When you choose RISE + Serve, you’re joining us in making a difference. A portion of our profits goes directly to helping churches grow, funding mission trips, supporting the training of future preachers, and more. Your purchase doesn’t just bring you great coffee; it becomes part of a movement to spread the word of God and bring grace to communities far and wide.

Every sip of our coffee fuels more than just your day—it fuels a purpose. Thank you for choosing RISE + Serve and for being part of something bigger.
