WELCOME TO LIFT.
Welcome to Lift Student Ministries, the student ministry of High Point Church, serving middle and high school-aged students.
The mission of Lift is to introduce young people to the God of the Bible and deepen their relationship with him. In the Bible, God's people often go up to mountaintops for exceptional meetings with Him where He reveals Himself and relates to them in a personal way.
Our ministry seeks to be the LIFT that enables students to meet with God by integrating them into a gospel-centered community, surrounding them with godly mentors, and teaching them how to apply God’s word and Spirit to their lives.

STAFF.
The High Point Church Student Ministry is sending a team of 12 high schoolers and 8 leaders, including our Senior Pastor, to Zambia this summer from June 17-30. Our primary focus will be assisting the Overland missionaries in reaching the village with the true gospel. Many Zambians are familiar with the gospel message but often combine it with other religious beliefs such as works or ancestor worship. We'll have the privilege of helping clarify the pure message of Christ's love and salvation. This will be a transformative experience where we'll have the opportunity to make a lasting impact in the hearts and minds of the Zambian people while growing in our own faith journey.
