Are you looking to “Make a Difference?”

We are not a rocking-chair church.  We are small, but we offer opportunities to get out of the pews after Sunday’s worship and get involved in missions – whether it’s joining a mission trip to Guatemala, feeding those in a northwest neighborhood in Rochester, collecting food for our neighbors in Wayne County, or making quilts to wrap around children after surgery in third world countries. 

And…we can do even more with more disciples who feel called to make a difference.    

We can also help build up your spiritual muscles through our meaningful worship time together, our women’s weekly Bible study and our adult Sunday School class.  Check us out!  We have plenty of room for you!

The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet. -          Frederick Buechner

Zions Women's Ministry: Working in the Mission Field!

The women of Zion have been meeting this year to address and support local, national, and global needs in the name of Jesus! Our Purpose Statement reads: Sharing the spirit of mission with those who are in need by using the gifts and talents God has given us to minister to others as Jesus did.

​Wayne County Rural Ministries / Come-Unity Center, Williamson NY

Prayers, outreach and financial support have been extended to the Wayne County Rural Ministry/Come-Unity Center , American Bible Society, the Walworth Food Pantry, Wycliffe Bible Translators (to support our missionaries: The Satres, who are serving in Cameroon), Church World Service, and Cameron Community Center in Rochester. Income from our annual Turkey Dinner, summer rummage sale, and donations makes this possible!

Our members have been in touch with staff in the Wayne, Gananda, and Pal-Mac school districts. Through our pie sales and annual rummage sales we are able to support many local organizations, our missionary families, and our international home building teams.  We volunteer at A Second Thought Resale Shop in East Rochester which supports building homes in Guatemala.  We also collect food monthly for the Williamson Come-Unity Center.  In August a team goes to Guatemala to build homes and distribute food, clothing, and wheelchairs.

Many student that are in need are brought to the attention of the school nurse. In the past we have provided support by donations of under cloths and finances. 

Our outreach includes supporting the Wayne County Rural Ministry/Come-Unity Center in Williamson with prayers, gifts, and finances. 

On the Road for Jesus!

Members and friends of Zion have been taking part in national and international mission trips for years. Is God calling you? You could be on our next journey!

Zion's Two Missionary Families

1. The Satre Family

Zion has a long standing relationship with our missionary family, the Satres, serving as Biblical translators in the Central African nation of Cameroon. Vicky Satre is the daughter of one of our former pastors, the Rev. Dr. Victor Smith.

​

Our support is through Wycliffe Bible Translators. Scott works on translating Biblical words and phrases into native African languages. Spectacular! They are working to spread the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ on our behalf. 

Please consider supporting them directly with your thoughts, prayers, and gifts. Drop them a note of encouragement. We were privileged to welcome them home in 2005 and 2010 and look forward to receiving the Satres the next time they return.

Financial Support for the Satres:
