Mt. Zion UMC Missions
The heart of our ministry at Mt. Zion UMC is Missions.
"But before people can ask the Lord for help, they must believe in Him;
and before they can believe in Him, they must hear about Him;
and for them to hear about the Lord, someone must tell them." Romans 10:14
"It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35
The Lower Currituck Mobile Food Drop takes place on the 3rd Tuesdays of each month at the Jarvisburg Elementary School parking lot. Several area churches are sponsoring this important ministry for those in need within our community. Please contact our church to become a volunteer or other ways to support this important ministry.
