Zion: A Faithful Future 2010 Leadership Training

Our Mission as the Church The mission of the Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. The most significant place where this occurs is in the local church. The Church exists for the maintenance of worship, the edification of believers, and the redemption of the world.

Priorities for Zion Intentionally be a church who welcomes all that seek Christ. Intentionally reach out to people outside of our walls and find ways to bring them into our faith community. Intentionally be a church where these new people will find a place and a purpose. Intentionally teach them to reach out, invite, and include people who are outsider, as they once were.

Some Current Stats Zion, today: About 300 members on the rolls Average worship attendance of 108 Average Sunday School attendance of 60 to 65

Zion’s Goal for 2010 In 2010, we will grow 10% in Worship Attendance

A Goal for 2010 With a present average of 108, that’s 10 or 11 people overall – 5 per service!

How to do these things Communicate, Communicate, Communicate! Regularly gathering to do ministry Letting the church know what you have going. Community, Community, Community! Strengthen our congregation by creating opportunities for us to be together, in fellowship, worship, and service
