Ministering To The Total Man

 

 

Missionary Ministry

Every son and daughter is called to be a Missionary; we are called to the service of God and our fellow man; and to fit us for this service should be the object of our education.  The Missionary Worker must be taught, how best to help the poor, care for the sick, and to work for the unconverted. The true Missionary is personally concerned, he/she has a deep love for people, is greatly concerned about their needs, not only physical and material, but their soul's salvation and spiritual health as well.  He/She is a Missionary everyday and on every occasion.  This is not merely an aspect of his/her life, it is his/her reason for living.

The Missionary Ministry of Mount Zion United Holy Church is striving to attain all of the aspects of good Missionaries.  Our purpose is to worship God in a joyful fellowship, to impact the community with needed and caring service and to invite all people into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ as together we prepare for His return and an exciting eternity with our blessed Lord and Savior.  You must be a member in order to serve in this ministry.

Youth Ministry:  

THE PURPOSE OF YOUTH MINISTRY…

is to bring youth into a closer relationship with Jesus and one another.  We will mentor and guide youth through this time of spiritual formation and help them and their families adapt the teachings of Jesus (Love, Mercy and Grace) so that they may develop a deeper committed relationship with Jesus.  It is through that purpose that our vision is to provide a quality Youth Ministry program by providing the tools for youth to explore, expand  and build their faith.  We will continue to challenge and encourage youth to commit their lives to Christ.  We offer Children's Church which is geared towards the youth ages 5-12. Children's Church is offered on the first three Sundays of the month. Fourth Sundays are designated youth Sundays, a time in which we all worship together in the main Sanctuary and the youth play vital roles in the service. Growing in Grace is a youth ministry geared towards young ladies up to age 18. We also have have a Young Men's Mentoring Program which is the counterpart to the Growing in Grace Ministry. In order to serve in is ministry you must be a member and have undergone a background check.

Dance Ministry

What is a Praise Dance?

A Praise Dance is a form of dance that glorifies God by communicating the divine message of the good news of Jesus Christ. A Praise Dance is a unique and God ascribed dance (Ps. 150:3-5). This means that God has ordained the dance to be a physical expression of our acknowledgement of Him (Ps. 150:2; Col. 1:16) and our relationship with Him in joy and gladness (Ps. 22:3; Ps. 30:11; Zeph. 3:17).

 

What is Dance Ministry?

Dance Ministry is simply the process by which we use our gift of dance to share the gospel or the good news of Jesus Christ to the lost and to encourage, comfort, and edify the saints in the faith.

 

We Care(Bereavement Ministry)

This ministry is designed to meet the needs of the Mount Zion Church family in the time of  death. We know that at this time you need the support of your family and friends, and here at Mount Zion we are family. "We Care" is here to help, whether it be a visit, help with arrangements, prayer, etc.

 

Housekeeping/Grounds keeping Ministry

One of the many ways volunteers bless our church by working behind the scenes is through the Housekeeping Ministry.  Each week, they keep our facilities sanitary, aesthetically-pleasant, and ready for the many other ministries that rely on cleanliness and order.  They faithfully complete the major cleaning jobs for the church, but everyone can play a part in this ministry as they respect and take care of the house of God. The groundskeepers will work to improve and maintain a well-kept, neat appearance of the church grounds.
