Living Sent Missionary Academy is a ministry of LIFT Church. LIFT Church is a movement of disciple-making disciples dedicated to seeing students made fully alive in the hope of Jesus on university and college campuses across Canada and the world.

In 2021, LIFT Church launched the Living Sent Missionary Academy for the purpose of training disciples from within and outside of our church to spread the gospel to unreached places. Currently, LIFT Church missionaries are located across Southern Ontario, Canada at McMaster University, York University, Brock University, the University of Waterloo, the University of Guelph, the University of Toronto Mississauga, and Mohawk College. LIFT Church felt the need to create the Living Sent Missionary Academy so that we could train our disciples to be disciple-makers beyond their time as undergraduates. Our prayer is that all students would encounter Christ and proclaim, “He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God.” (Psalm 40: 2-3)

Living Sent Missionary Academy is in partnership with Converge Canada.

What we believe

In the beginning was God

We believe in God; who is love and is the creator and sustainer of all things. He exists in perfect harmony as three persons-in-one (we call it the Trinity). The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: a perfect, loving, and glorious relationship. Distinct among his creation, God made…

You and I

We believe that we were created for relationship with God, to love and know him, each other, and ourselves. In our pursuit of this, we were meant to be creative and adventurous. However, we decided that we were better off and we...

Rejected God – and became alone

We believe that we have rejected relationship with God and as a result are separated from Him. As a result we have a broken relationship with each other and the world around us. This rejection of relationship with God is the root of what the Scriptures call sin, and within ourselves, there is no solution. Thankfully…

We were given a promise

We believe that God immediately began a process of redemption to restore relationship with mankind. This was documented in what Christians call the Old Testament which still speaks to us today. God’s promise to restore relationship culminated in…

A solution – JESUS

We believe Jesus is the complete, perfect and the only answer. As God Himself, Jesus lived roughly 2000 years ago revealing the character of God, dying so that we could be forgiven, and being resurrected to life forever conquering sin, death and the spiritual enemies of this world. Because of this…

We can respond

We believe that to live in relationship with God, we need to first acknowledge our living apart from God, and then put faith in Jesus. When we do so we are forgiven of our sin, brought back into relationship with God, and are filled with the Holy Spirit. This is called the Gospel – the Good News. As a sign of our faith in Jesus we are baptized in water, publicly declaring that we now live for Jesus, helping others experience Him, and collectively becoming…

The Church

We believe that Church exists so that others could know the hope of Jesus. To help make this happen, Jesus gave supernatural ability to the Church as we carry out His mission. We will continue this mission until…

He Returns

We believe that Jesus will return to bring final justice to creation. There will be a new heaven and earth where those that have put their faith in Jesus will enjoy Him forever, and those that have not will be forever separated from Him.

We believe the Bible teaches these things.

We believe the Bible teaches these things. It is accurate and authoritative in our lives. We read it often to better know God and walk in relationship with Him.
