college adoption program


Mt. Zion is blessed to have 30+ college students enrolled each year at various universities. The Mt. Zion College Adoption Program (MZCAP) provides a connection (each September -April) to let college students know that their church family still cares about them as they face the challenges of college life. Individuals or Sunday School Classes may sponsor students.  If you sign up to ADOPT a college student, you are responsible for sending a monthly card or an occasional small gift card or fun surprise. If you choose to SPONSOR a student, the MZCAP committee will mail a card each month to your student on your behalf. “Sponsoring” a student is $40.00. Send in a check in August to: Mt. Zion UMC, 19600 Zion Ave., Cornelius, NC 28031.  Note on the check memo line - College Adoption Program. Please contact church office for more details.

College students:

Please contact the church office if you are interested in being adopted/sponsored for the school year. The church office manager will provide you with contact info for the CAP chairperson. You must enroll with the MZCAP chairperson each year in August if you want to be part of the ministry, even if you were in the program last year and your contact information hasn’t changed. Please note that you can be a virtual/online, commuter, or on-campus resident student and still be part of this ministry.
