Opportunities to ServeIn addition to Zion being a place where people can come to find a refuge from the storms of life, Zion’s members also leave the comfort zone of our congregation and serve in the community. At Zion we believe that it is our duty to reach out to others, where they are, to show the love of Christ. We do this by volunteering in several organizations and participating in various activities locally, nationally, and internationally. At Zion, we literally apply the Word of God and go!

Kairos Prison Ministry
God’s Special Time
Kairos is an ecumenical Christian ministry designed for use in men's and women's correctional institutions. The purpose of Kairos is to help build and nurture strong Christian communities among the residents of correctional institutions. The Kairos experience for residents starts with a 3-day short course in Christianity. After their Kairos weekend, residents continue to participate in small Prayer and Share groups. These groups meet weekly to share their lives on a deep spiritual level and to pray for one another. Kairos participants also attend monthly reunions in the institution with Kairos volunteers. Kairos volunteers conduct two spiritual retreats per year for residents who have made a Kairos weekend.
