Pursuit Program

The Mountain started off 2025 with significant movement. But first, we are excited to offer our 2025 Pursuit Program. Uplift Mountain is accepting applications for teens that would like to experience a summer of discovery, challenge and encouragement. Check out the Pursuit Program page for  more information. 

Come See Us!

Uplift offers retreats for families, church groups, and individuals who seek an escape to slow down and recenter.

Bring a Youth Group and tie together tight bonds of relationship, set a course of direction, and expand the notions of what it means to follow Christ.

Remodel in the Appartment

The team on Uplift started on a remodel of the Apartment.

With major help from my father-in-law Mike Ham (Second Picture), and Zach Hunt we set our sights on having the project completed in time for our February 1st move in day.

 The main goal was to add a bathroom (still in progress), and a bedroom for our family of four.

The result, a cozy and functional living space that we are all excited about.

Framing at the Hunt's House

Zach, and Amy Hunt have started the process of framing their house in Silver Cliff. Zach recruited myself, Dad and Mike Selden, to frame up the lower floor. 

Update from Isaac

     This season has been chaotic but meaningful for myself and my family. We are still navigating all the realities of downsizing and simplifying. As I begin so immerse myself into the rhythms of what life on the Mountain might look like, I sense a joyful anticipation for what the next few months might hold. As many of you read this, you might think of a moment that you took that first step in the direction you believe to be right. For me, uncertainty still lingers. But the peace and assurances that come from the first step of obedience bring such joy to my heart. 

     Thank you all for your support. I am overwhelmed to see the continued generosity, and steadfastness in prayer. Continue to pray for me, Serenity, Wren, Asher, and the rest of the team here at Uplift as we adjust and take the next small steps. Pray that we would prepare this place, and our hearts, with humility for the people that need to experience what Uplift has to offer.
