About Us

Mission

Our church, Mount Zion, is to be the assembly where the glory of God and His power is in evidence. People will learn how to live in an intimate relationship with God. There will be an entrance into the area of abundant living, spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially. As your life is transformed, you will bring others to this place and they will receive enlightenment, salvation, refuge, cover and protection.

Mount Zion stresses the importance of using your faith to strengthen and to unite families, to promote moral values, to be responsible, accountable persons, to respect the value and dignity of each person, to achieve economic stability and to work in unity and harmony with others. It is the goal of Mount Zion to build and to strengthen the lives of believers by empowering them through faith in Christ to live prosperous, productive lives as they serve others.
