Easter Weekend, New Bible Study on Ephesians, WSSU Choir (Pastoral Emphasis for 4/13)

We wrapped up our study in Galatians last Wednesday. It was great to dig into that book to understand that our justification is by faith alone. The next Bible Study Series starts Wednesday at 7pm and we will be in Ephesians.  Join us as we look at our identity should be found in Christ.

I will be preaching at New Destiny Christian Fellowship for their 10th Church Anniversary on Wednesday, April 23rd, at 7:30pm. The celebration will be held at Greater Emmanuel Temple of Grace in Durham.


Everyone is invited to celebrate Easter with us. This weekend we have various activities happening.
  • This Friday will have a Good Friday service from 6 to 7pm. We'll be looking at what was happening when Jesus said "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
  • On Saturday, we're having an Egg Hunt at 11am (this year we got more eggs, around 1000). 
  • Later on Saturday at 4pm is our Easter Program called "The Real Easter Story". 
  • After the program we're having dinner together. Please sign up online ("Easter Program"). When you sign up include the number of guests that you will be bringing. 
  • On Sunday, join us for our Sunrise Easter Service at 6am, where we will celebrate the Lord's Supper. This will be our only service for the day.  Invite a lot of people (family, friends, co-workers) to join us during the Easter weekend. 


Right after the service today, we had a Pastors Meet and Greet with our new members who had completed New Members Orientation in 2013 and the first quarter of 2014 are invited.  A lot of the new members came to Mt. Zion because they were invited.  The lesson learned: invite people to church.  Your invitation makes a difference.

The Worship Ministry is hosted a Musical Concert performance by the Winston-Salem State University Choir today at 4pm. The choir features our very own, Brianna Martin.  The choir was wonderful.  We pray God's blessings on them as they travel around the world sharing and uplifting others with their God-given talents.

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

Today is a day of celebration and gratitude as we come together to witness the burning of our church’s mortgage! This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community.   ---     Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’   This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season.   --- History of the Vision         Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...

My Hope Sunday, M:T Not a Competition, Prayer Gathering (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/13)

Today was My Hope Sunday ! We had several invited guests, and my message was from 1 Samuel 8:4-9 on "Looking for a Savior".  Israel wanted a king like the other nations who would “save” them. This is the very definition of a functional savior. A functional savior is anything or anyone a person looks to for ultimate hope, security, identity, or fulfillment in place of God. Whatever you look to to “save” you from your problems, fears, or insecurities is your functional savior. But all of our functional saviors cannot save us. Jesus is the Savior we really need!  Our greatest need in this life and the life to come is to have our sins forgiven by trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Today, my wife shared her My Hope Testimony .   (RSS Subscribers: click here to watch the video) Missions:Together’s "Not a Competition" is a powerful missions gathering designed to re-ignite your passion for missions on Saturday, November 2, hosted at The Summit Church in Apex.
