What is the Lifted Life?

At CityRise, we believe a LIFTED LIFE is one that is fully surrendered, fully empowered, and fully sent by the love of Jesus Christ. Join us on a discipleship journey that transforms you and those around you.

Wondering what your next step is? Check out the details on our discipleship pathway below.

Lift 1

Community is where it begins!

The first lift we want you to experience is through community—Community Groups are the place for that. Experience fellowship, biblical teaching, prayer, and care in a setting designed for growth. If you need a group, find your perfect match in one of our Community Groups.

Lift 2

Ready to go deeper?

The next lift is through Discipleship U, which encompasses Bible studies and opportunities during the week to strengthen your faith alongside others. Whether it’s a women’s study, marriage enrichment, or men’s gathering, there’s a space for you. Discover your next group on our calendar below.

Lift 3

Serve. Grow. Transform.

Did you know serving is also discipleship? Find your place to Serve and use your gifts to lift others while deepening your own faith. From local missions to international outreach, there’s a place for you. Explore opportunities to serve at CityRise on our Serve page.

Lift 4

Lifted lives, lift lives.

The greatest lift is when you begin to lift others, and that happens in Lift Groups. These groups consist of two to four people and include a trained leader. Lift Groups are designed to lift you into a deeper understanding of the Kingdom; they are the deepest experience of love, counseling, and training which will then be sent out to create that same depth and lift the lives of others.

Discipleship U brings together a variety of weekly Bible studies and classes offered each semester to encourage spiritual growth and biblical understanding.
