YOU BELONG HERE
Middle School and High School can be complicated. Students are growing up faster and dealing with issues previous generations couldn’t have imagined.
So, YOU need a place to learn about God, make new friends, and serve together. You need a place to BELONG. Our goal is to create a community HERE where everyone knows they matter.
Life is hard. Don’t do it alone.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
[6th – 8th Grade]
We understand this is a pivotal stage of life. So, we want to meet kids right where they are for the greatest impact in their walk with Jesus. Our focus is helping students own their faith as they become more independent.
Middle School gathers SUNDAY MORNINGS in the Student Center. We meet at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM.
Gatherings include live worship, age-appropriate teaching, and guided group discussions led by adults committed to equipping students to develop their own faith.

HIGH SCHOOL
[9th – 12th Grade]
We’re here to INVITE & EQUIP students to follow Jesus. What does that mean? It means we’re intentional about the environment we create. We want everyone to feel welcome and to feel comfortable inviting their friends to come hang out. Even if you’ve just started following Jesus or you’ve been living as a Follower for a while, you’ll have a good time while you grow in your faith.
High School gathers SUNDAY NIGHTS at the Student Center. We meet at 4:30 PM to hang out before service begins at 5:15 PM.
Gatherings include live worship, age-appropriate teaching, and guided group discussions led by adults committed to equipping students to develop their own faith.

YOU BELONG HERE
Whether it’s service on Sundays, going away on retreats and mission trips, or having big events on campus, our focus is creating a space where students can learn about God, build relationships, and deepen their faith, all while having fun…together.
Why? Because the more we grow in our love for God, we understand how much we are loved by Him. And the more we understand that, the more intentional we are about loving others.

Josh Power
Student Pastor
Staff Team
I have been in ministry for the past 8 years in both Student Ministry and Kids Ministry. I graduated from Lee University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. At my first ministry job, I met my wife, Megan, who served on our student ministry team, and four years later we got married. My wife and I have twins, Micah and Evalette.
Outside of Student Ministry I enjoy coaching/playing volleyball, playing really any sport, cooking, and spending time with my family.
Savannah Barnett
Student Ministry Discipleship & Outreach Director
Staff Team
I have a heart to educate and empower people to make the world a better place. Here at Mountaintop, that looks like supporting and empowering our students to serve in a variety of capacities.
When I’m not at Mountaintop, you can find me doing photography, life coaching, finding new projects to do around the house, curled up in a blanket (because I’m always cold), or recently, I’ve gotten into plants- and sometimes I talk to them! I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we have a goofy dog and a crazy cat!
Zack Gibbs
Middle School Director
Staff Team
I have the privilege of working with our students here at Mountaintop every week! I have a heart for student ministry and love being able to help lead and develop students to be young adults who are strong in faith and on fire for Jesus.
I grew up in Georgia, and I am currently a sophomore at Samford University, Majoring in Biblical studies. If I am not in class or at the church, I am normally hanging out with friends from school playing basketball or watching my Atlanta Braves!
