[2][3] Arise Church has since expanded to include campuses in ten physical locations across New Zealand including Wellington, Hamilton, Whangārei, Kapiti, Palmerston North, Christchurch, Selwyn, Dunedin, Masterton, Porirua, with services based in the Wellington campus also being streamed online.

[6] In 2015, the Church entered the permitting process for construction for the Petone building, which includes both worship and office space.

Previous Arise Conference speakers include Craig Groeschel, Rich Wilkerson Jr., Chris Hodges (Church of the Highlands), and Samuel Rodriguez.

Passionate Women's Conference has close to 2,000 delegates and boasts world-renowned speakers like Lisa Bevere, DawnCheré Wilkerson, Maria Durso, and many more.

In mid-July 2022, Radio New Zealand reported that the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) had imposed a temporary non-publication order on an external review of Arise Church conducted by independent consultancy firm Pathfinding.

[22] On 16 August 2022, David Farrier and Radio New Zealand obtained a leaked copy of Pathfinding's independent review of Arise Church.

Pathfinding's report included allegations about sexual misconduct, racism, homophobia, body shaming, sexism, pastors forcing their political views on members, distrust of medical treatments, bullying, ageism, exploitation of interns, people being forced to work despite injuries, and financial mismanagement.

Pathfinding made 92 recommendations including making a genuine apology for the hurt caused to members, reporting illegal activities to the authorities, paying for former members to receive counselling, engaging a restorative justice facilitator, disavowing conversion therapy, promoting Māori church leadership, an independent review of the church finances, and replacing the entire leadership board.

"[26] According to Stuff and TVNZ, some former members of Arise had attempted to prevent the report's 92 recommendations from being released publicly, leading to ERA's temporary non-publication order on the document in July 2022.

However, the order was subsequently rescinded following the report's leakage by David Farrier and Radio New Zealand, a teleconference held on 17 August between John and Gillian Cameron and ERA, and pressure from TVNZ.

[30] On 18 August 2022, the Department of Internal Affairs's Charities Services division commenced an investigation of Arise Church in response to the issues raised by the Pathfinding report.

[31][29] In January 2023, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) issued Arise Church's leadership board with an infringement notice for failing a request to supply information on specific employee records.

By 7 March, the Arise board was banned from recruiting migrant workers until 16 July as a result of MBIE's investigation.

These venues included the Michael Fowler Centre, TSB Bank Arena, and the St. James Theatre with close to 7,000 people meeting across 4 services in the Wellington Region.

[40] The Church responded to the 2011 Christchurch earthquake by delivering shipments of shelf-stable food and emergency supplies, digging silt, fixing damage, and helping the elderly and vulnerable.

[50] In August 2021, Arise advocated for a proposed ban on conversion therapy in New Zealand but with amendments, alleging that it criminalised parents, counsellors and pastors seeking to help children and young people dealing with sexuality or gender issues.
