The LIFT Student ministry is designed to help middle school and high school students know the love of God and the truth of God’s word. But our prayer is that this knowledge would do more than just saturate their minds…we pray it would penetrate their hearts and transform their lives!

We pray that as our students learn to live in fellowship with God according to the truth of His word, they would become fruitful followers of Jesus Christ, demonstrating the power of the Holy Spirit as He helps them accomplish more than they could ever ask or imagine!

Fellowship & Fun Activities

Throughout the year we plan a variety of unique experiences for our students to participate in including game nights, outdoor events, holiday celebrations, and special trips, all of which are designed to energize and encourage our students in their walk with the Lord, while also providing opportunities to build and strengthen relationships with other like-minded believers.

Regular opportunities to serve and participate in missions

At Reach Church Paola we believe God grants every believer with unique spiritual gifts, and our desire is to provide our students with a variety of opportunities to exercise their gifts both inside, and outside of the church. Whether it’s serving in a ministry position on a Sunday morning, participating in a community outreach event, or engaging the Great Commission by getting involved in international missions, there’s nothing we love to see more than our students stepping out in faith and following Jesus wherever He leads them.
