Mt. Zion Update: Coronavirus


No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:37-39 (ESV)


Mt. Zion is planning to have service on Sunday, Lord willing.  We know that God is sovereign and every microbe falls under His authority.  Let our gathering for corporate worship be a witness that our hope and faith is in the Lord.  As we move forward, we'll continue to evaluate whether it is prudent to have service or not.

Now this does not mean we are going to be foolish and throw caution to the wind.  If you or any of your family members do not feel well or are exhibiting any signs of illness, please stay at home.  If you just feel uncertain about coming out, follow your conscience and do what you feel is best for you.  Those who are at home can watch the service online at Zion Live.

The church was heavily sanitized last week and we plan to make that a routine going forward until we return to normalcy.  We will also do our best to have extra hand sanitizer available at the church.  Of course, as always, you can utilize the bathrooms to wash your hands.

And let us not shrink back from checking on our elderly members and others with medical issues who may be more susceptible to the effects of this disease.  We also have the opportunity to love our neighbors who may be fearful by serving them and sharing the Good News of the Gospel.

Over and over again, God has commanded us to fear not.  He has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and a sound mind.  In uncertain times, let's hold tightly to the certainty that our God reigns!

Your servants in Christ,

Pastor Willie Harris
Elder Wayne Bullock
Elder Sean Cherry
Elder Bobby Dunn
Elder Roderick Harrison

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.
