A high point of church giving you hope (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspire

'hope' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a high point of church' is the wordplay.
'high point of church' becomes 'spire' (tower attached to a church).
'a'+'spire'='ASPIRE'

'giving you' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aspire that I've seen before include "Hope (to do something)" , "Aim at high things" , "Have hopes (to achieve something)" , "Direct one's hopes and ambitions" , "Have ambition (to achieve something)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
