HUGE Announcement

I've been teasing about this being a HUGE announcement. Well, it's huge and it's not huge.

For a long time now, our desire is that Mt. Zion would operate based on Biblical principles rather than denominational structures and traditions. So unlike some traditional Baptist churches, we don't have a deacons board that rules over the pastor (we have Elders) and we are not a part of the National Baptist Convention.

It's huge in the fact that after 143 years, Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church is going non-denominational! This fits our vision to reach all people. Some un-churched people may not even consider visiting a Baptist church.

It's not huge in the fact that nothing really changes. The operation and culture of Mt. Zion will continue to be the same. It's just a name change.

We will officially be called "Mt. Zion" or "Mt. Zion Church". Our non-profit organization will be Mt. Zion, Inc.

So now that it's official, let's continue to Worship Christ, Spread the Gospel, and Serve the Community!

Awesome Pastor! It is time out for the denominational barriers that keep the children of the Triune God from working together to achieve His divine purpose of spreading the reconciliation message of the saving Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to the whole world!

Godspeed to you and your congregation.

Thanks to all who came out to the Church Family Meeting. Our focus is reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even though we don't have a formal dress code at church, I think we have an unspoken one. Our guest may perceive a dress code based on what they see on the stage from leadership. So in order to remove any barriers that might prevent some from visiting us or feeling comfortable in our service, the leadership will dress a little more casual. We will try this out until the end of the year and then evaluate. So don't be surprised when you see me not wearing a tie! I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church. I was talking to my very dear sister, soror, friend Sis Brandi Hancock and she and I were having a heart to heart. I told her that I was
