Class Leaders

Class Leaders help the pastor, pastor the congregation by advising, counseling, correcting, encouraging, and watching over the souls of class members in love.

Children

Church School

When it comes to children’s ministry, we know that kids thrive when they are given age-specific programs that are both fun and educational. Church School is a safe and fun place where kids love to come, week after week, and learn about Jesus and God’s amazing plan for their life.

Our desire is to connect with each child in a way that they will see Jesus through our genuine love and care, and be radically changed for God. In Church School, we also place a vital focus on forming a partnership with parents in order to develop an encouraging and supportive foundation that will help them in guiding their child in Christ.

Men of Zion

Mission

To encourage a personal relationship with Jesus and equip men to be spiritual leaders for their families, church, work and community.

Many men feel a total disconnect when it comes to church. If given a choice, spending time at church falls a distant second to spending time with friends, family, or doing just about anything else. Why is this? Well, simply put, men just don’t feel connected.

MMM men’s ministry group has the potential to change that. This ministry bond men by giving them a forum in which to share and a reason for getting together.  

Like a fire of burning coals, the combined energy of men gathered together draws men toward the flame and keeps them active and encouraged by the other members involved.

This ministry offer three things:

- Christ centered resources for spiritual growth

- Ample occasions for fun and recreation

- Opportunity for members to use their God-given talents and time to make a powerful impact in their home, church, and community

The Men’s Booster Ministry promotes, develops and enhances the principles of Christian manhood by precept and examples through worship, discipleship, stewardship, fellowship, scholarship and sportsmanship”. “Producing Godly Men: One Soul At A Time” the Men’s Booster participates in activities such as: Men’s Monday night bible study, Men’s Church School, feeding the homeless, collecting clothes for the homeless, and mentoring. We sponsor fun fellowship activities such as: fathers and children fishing trips, sports outings, amusement park events, and youth lock in’s.
