Ministries

 

Cemetery Committee
The Cemetery Committee is a valued asset to our congregation and a tribute to those whose lives we memorialize. The committee continues to manage and operate the cemetery. It keeps the grounds neat and orderly, removing old tree limbs, trimming the edge of the forest, removing dead flowers from grave sites, and uprighting the fallen tombstones.

Christian Education & Youth
This ministry serves to assist children, youth and adults in understanding and responding to the Gospel through educational opportunities and fellowship activities.

Evangelism
The purpose of the Evangelism Committee is to equip and strengthen members of Little Zion to reach out to those people in our area who are in search of a church home.

Finance
This ministry oversees the financial affairs of the congregation. This entails budget planning and preparation, and administration of the congregation’s finances.

Global Missions
The Global Missions Committee of Little Zion is responsible for the church's mission outside of and within the United States. We are an open and caring people, called to share God's kingdom with those in need. We strive to make Christ known to the poor and those who have become victims of natural and manmade disasters.

Lunch Bunch
The Lunch Bunch is open to anyone who would like to attend for fellowship, lunch, an informative program or entertainment. Meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at 12:30PM in the Fellowship Hall. Bring your own lunch. Coffee, tea, and desserts are provided. If you are not a part of this group, you are most welcome! Once or twice a year, we travel to see a play or to visit a local place of interest.

Personnel
The Personnel Committee furthers the greater mission of the church by establishing fair and thorough practices for seeking, interviewing, evaluating, and hiring capable staff to manage existing programs and undertake new responsibilities. We are committed to assuring that all personnel are treated equally and are supplied with the tools they need to do their work. Through the use of current and accurate job descriptions and periodic assessment of performance, we coordinate the collection of constructive feedback for the staff. By keeping orderly records and by providing timely input, we support the budgeting process to help the council plan for and ensure stable administration of the church organization. We do this with God's guidance to further His work.

Property/Special Projects
This ministry provides care, protection, and maintenance of the physical building and property located at 267 Morwood Rd. This includes refinishing and restoring various aspects of the building and maintaining the grounds by trimming hedges, cleaning flower gardens, and so forth. It is thanks to these people that we have such a wonderfully restored building and crisp grounds.

Stewardship
The ministry of stewardship serves to provide leadership and direction to the congregation in understanding and living out the gospel through the practice of stewardship. This may involve giving of one’s time, one’s spiritual gift, a specific skill or use of financial resources. Stewardship is the expression of the gospel through both an individual’s and a congregation’s resources.

Worship & Music
The ministry of Worship and Music is the expression of the Gospel within the congregational setting that serves to strengthen faith and reassure all God’s people. Worship involves confessing sin and receiving absolution, hearing the Good News in both scripture and in sermons, receiving the gospel through participation in the sacraments and sending believers back out into the world to live and proclaim the love of Christ.
