What is Higher Ground?

The Higher Ground Ministry exists to bring people into a deeper relationship with God and a better understanding of His unconditional love and forgiving heart.

The Heart of Higher Ground

We believe that true life is found only in living in constant connection to Jesus.  Living in this relationship moves us to Higher Ground.  Following Jesus changes the way we live.  He changes us.  He changes our relationship in the home and in the workplace.  He changes everything and leads us to live in the here and now on Higher Ground.  Jesus is the only way for a person to live on Higher Ground eternally.  This conviction and a desire to encourage others to live this way are at the heart of Higher Ground.

Why Higher Ground?

We are all in need of growth in our lives, particularly in our relationship to God.  Higher Ground is intended to enhance the Christian's commitment to God, the family, and the church.  It is designed to encourage self-examination that will reveal needs in individuals and find inspiration to grow from the Word of God.  Higher Ground is a loving ministry of encouragement through edification and reaching out to others through God's Word.

How Higher Ground

Higher Ground is a three-day event for 35 "Climbers", held at Mountain View Christian Camp near Ruidoso, NM.  It begins on Thursday evening at 7:00 and concludes on Sunday afternoon at 1:30.  During this time, there will be many opportunities and challenges for each individual to examine themselves, to share with one another, to be encouraged by others, and to encourage others.  Through times of worship, times of study, quiet time of reflection, and devotionals, each climber will find motivation and paths of spiritual growth.
