Who we are
OUR HISTORY
City Lift Church was founded in 2018 by Pastors Matt and Alyssa Shull in their townhome in Weston. Matt and Alyssa have been in full-time ministry for almost 20 years and felt the call of God to plant a church in South Florida. What started with 4 people has bloomed into an authentic, loving, life-giving community. City Lift made its home in Northeast High School in Oakland Park for two years before moving online due to the pandemic. God opened a door for us in downtown Fort Lauderdale at General Provision, where the church has grown and flourished for over four years. Now we get to continue the next chapter of our journey at ArtServe and pursue God’s mission to reach the people of Ft. Lauderdale.
OUR VISION AND MISSION
VISION
Our Vision is to be a church for the people of Fort Lauderdale to help them connect with God and others.
MISSION
Our Mission is to help people meet, know, and follow Jesus.
"Then Jesus came to them and said. "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." - Matthew 28:18-20 NIV
PURPOSE
Our Purpose is to love God and love others.
“Jesus replied: ”Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” - Matthew 22:37-39 NIV
Matthew 6:9-10 NKJV
“In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.”
