Rise OC is a church of the Pacific Coast Japanese Conference of the Free Methodist Church USA.

The PCJC was founded upon the sacrificial lives of four Free Methodist women who reached out in faith to the first Japanese who had settled in the United States in the early 1900s. The network was forged out of the difficult and challenging conditions of the Japanese Internment Camps of the 1940s. It was then that several Free Methodist pastors and congregations reached out with love and compassion to share the Gospel. The fruit of their outreach was overwhelming and led to the formation of multiple churches throughout California.

Today, the PCJC is a multi-ethnic network of churches on the West Coast. The vision of the PCJC is to equip, nurture, and grow a network of healthy diverse leaders and multiplying churches, transforming the spiritual landscape of the Pacific Rim and beyond.
