small groups
Active engagement in small groups is a vital ingredient to healthy growth as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Jesus gathered his first followers into small groups, and then as the young church expanded, it was based on small groups gathering, flourishing, and influencing the greater community.
Mt. Zion offers a number of different opportunities to be part of a circle of friends that will help you live into your potential!
weekly small groups
Men of Purpose
Sunday Mornings 6:30 am-7:30 am in the Log Hut by the Family Life Center. These men seek to walk alongside each other as they intentionally seek to walk purposefully through life as men of faith. This group uses various materials to assist with growing as followers of Jesus Christ.
Men's Community Prayer Breakfast
Wednesday mornings 7:00 am-8:00 am at First Baptist Church. Men from various churches in the area come together for fellowship, Bible Study, and prayer. Different pastors from the community help lead each week.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Wednesdays 10:30 am-11:30 am in the Church Parlor. This group gathers weekly to knit and crochet prayer shawls for people who are sick and hurting. They also make baby blankets that are given to children when they are baptized.
Mt. Zion Craft Nights
Whatever your ‘craft’, come join us for fun and fellowship as we work on our scrapbook or sweater or quilt, a master painting, or just to chat!
This month, we will meet on Friday, September 9 and September 26, from 3 pm and again from 5:30 pm in the Hut (across from the Family Life Center). If you plan to come after 6 pm, please let us know.
