Our Founders
Drs. Anthony & Micheline Mcfarland
Drs. Anthony and Micheline McFarland are the passionate and visionary leaders behind Lift International. With a heart for people and a deep commitment to faith, they founded the church, originally named Abundant Harvest Christian Center in 2000 with a mission to uplift individuals and bring positive change to the community.
Anthony’s dynamic and relatable teaching style, paired with Micheline’s compassionate leadership and dedication to service, has helped grow Lift into a thriving space of faith, connection, and support.
Together, the McFarlands have built more than a church—they’ve created a movement. Their focus on outreach, mentorship, and community-building has impacted countless lives in Altadena, Pasadena, and beyond. With over 30 years of ministry experience, they continue to lead with love and inspire others to live with purpose, faith, and generosity.

Where we are headed...
Lift is moving forward with a bold vision for the future. As we continue to grow, our mission remains the same: to uplift and empower our community through faith, service, and connection. We dream of building a permanent facility right here in the heart of Altadena—a space where people of all ages can come together to worship, learn, and grow. This new home will be a place for our church family to thrive and for our outreach programs to expand, allowing us to serve even more people in meaningful ways.
Our vision for this facility goes beyond a traditional church. We see it as a hub for the community—a place where families can gather, kids can grow in faith, and lives can be transformed. With your support, we can bring this dream to life and create a lasting legacy in the new Altadena. Together, we can build something extraordinary that will continue to bless generations to come. Let’s make this vision a reality!
