Zion Methodist Community Church is a Christian community centered on Jesus Christ and committed to making disciples, maturing disciples, and mobilizing disciples for Jesus Christ. Its mission is expressed through worship, prayer, discipleship, fellowship, service, and practical support for people in the church and the broader community.
Jesus is central to everything we do. We sing, pray, and preach in His powerful Name. Our past, present, and future is centered on Jesus Christ. Our purpose on this earth is to make much of Jesus Christ.
Mission and Christian Purpose
Our Mission: to make disciples, mature disciples, mobilize disciples for jesus christ. Colossians 1:16-17 says (when speaking of Jesus), “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
We commit that our church is dedicated to loving this all-powerful, all-loving God with everything we have, and we invite you to join us in this desire. Followers of Christ, sharing God's message and serving the community with love.
Vision for the Community
To be a connection between Christ and the community to heal the hurting, feed the hungry, and help the lost be found; so that the love and grace of God may be experienced by all cultures and generations.
We’re all about doing life together in community, being intentional about our growth as people and serving one another and our broader community along the way.
Welcome to Worship and Community
Come as you are. We are a community of people who are in process. We have imperfect messy lives, but we are pursuing and experiencing a transforming relationship with Jesus and with each other.
Everybody is welcome here whatever your story, your questions, doubts or struggles. We want to invite you to one of our Sunday Worship services or Sunday School classes to experience our community of Jesus-followers authentically engaging with the God we love!

Special Remembrance Service
Message: Remembering 9/11 - Lessons Learned and Forgotten
After 9/11, America was stunned. In the days that followed, Americans were united in a very special way. Many of the divisions disappeared as we became one in spirit to overcome the tragedies of that day.
Many vowed never to forget. Here we sit 25 years later, the lessons long forgotten, with an even deeper divide. There is a more powerful way to come together.
Proverbs 16:1-9, Romans 12:9-21 Sept. 6, 2026.
