Arise Homes Business Spotlight: Building with Purpose

Aug 27, 2025 | Business, Core Bank, Customer Spotlight, Kansas City, SBA

Arise Homes is more than a homebuilder—it’s a mission-driven company dedicated to growth through good works. Guided by the values of Growth, Service, Excellence, Unity, and Consistency, Arise strives to hire, retain, and promote people who live out these principles while advancing a clear purpose: building great homes at a welcoming price.

Homes Elevating Your Everyday

Based in the Kansas City area, Arise Homes is dedicated to providing beautifully designed, expertly crafted homes that balance quality, durability, and affordability. Homes are built in the areas of Shawnee, Lenexa, and the KC Metro. Their floor plans feature all-brick, ranch-style designs ranging from compact to spacious. While the homes are not fully custom-built, buyers can personalize details like cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and brick color. Basements are typically not included, except when storm shelters are required or requested.

Naturally energy-efficient, these single-level homes stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter, thanks to their brick construction and excellent insulation. Many buyers are retirees looking to simplify, while others are first-time homeowners starting a new chapter. Arise understands that moving isn’t always about celebration; sometimes it’s about transition.

“We facilitate these changes to make our customers happy and comfortable and to remove the hassle from moving.”
Mike Stanton, Marketing Director, Arise Homes

The growth of Arise Homes is in their neighborhood communities. They currently have 80 homes in the Stone Ridge development, and they are growing ambitiously to complete 500 homes amongst their various community developments.

Laying Strong Foundations, Building Lasting Relationships

Arise Homes had a prior relationship with an individual who moved to Core Bank. Core Bank was able to provide very competitive options to help Arise Homes’ business grow.

Arise Homes utilizes Core Bank for Land and Construction Loans. “Core Bank loans are very competitive in the market. Core Bank’s positive pay service helps to protect Arise Homes check writing process,” shared Kevin Lysaught of Arise Homes.

Core Bank uses a wide array of fraud prevention tools, like positive pay, designed to keep money safe and allows businesses to know if anything has changed with their account.

A Culture Rooted in Purpose
Arise believes that culture is born from purpose. Their company statement reflects this: “To share Christ’s glory and kingdom through the work He has for us to accomplish.”

This dedication extends beyond homebuilding. Arise allocates a portion of the net profit from every home sold to ministry and community service projects, contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years. Their giving has supported organizations such as Ronald McDonald House, Safe Home, and Habitat for Humanity and more.

Giving back is not only a corporate priority but also a personal mission. Employees and their families are even encouraged to participate in service trips to developing countries, expanding Arise’s impact both locally and globally.

“Arise builds beautiful quality homes for a reasonable price. We purchased one of their homes that was already in the process of being built. So happy we did. The finished product is a home you can be proud to own. They were amazing to work with, and we feel blessed to spend the rest of our lives in one of their homes.”
