Our story

Built from friendship. Rooted in service.

Rizen began with a responsibility to make sure people could still hear, connect, and participate.

Rizen was formally started during the rise of COVID-19 with a clear goal: ensure the message could still be heard. The company's roots reach back to Robert “Robb” Randle's ministry at New Jerusalem Worship Center in Queens, New York. After years of supporting and then leading its AV ministry as Director of AV, Robb understood that technology mattered most when it helped people receive a message and stay connected.

That service-first foundation still guides every system we design, every room we enter, and every organization we support.

Before RizenMinistry shaped the mission.

Serving at New Jerusalem Worship Center taught Robb to lead with patience, prepare for the moment, and build technology around people rather than equipment.

Early 2020Closed doors. An open connection.

When COVID-19 closed the church's doors, Robb applied his AV and technology experience to help the congregation enter a new digital reality. The original Rizen AV was formed so the message could still be heard when people could not gather.

March 2025One vision became The Rizen Group.

Matthew joined Robert to relaunch Rizen AV as a full-service AV and IT company. Two lifelong friends brought together complementary expertise, a shared standard of care, and a clear mission to help organizations grow without compromising their values.

“We are built on faith, fueled by vision—and we're just getting started.”

A family company

Professional enough for the plan. Personal enough to care.

Family is part of how Rizen works—not a line in a brochure. It means knowing the people beside you, taking responsibility for the details, celebrating the wins together, and treating every client’s space and mission with real respect.

We bring that same warmth to small businesses, schools, houses of worship, nonprofits, and every organization that wants a technology partner who will stay close and follow through.
