Jesus called us to make disciples, and too often the church has settled for something less. We believe the church's central responsibility is to make disciples of Jesus, and that means learning to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did.

What follows is our discipleship pathway: a way of finding your place within this house we call Zion City Church, and an invitation to move deeper into our family and discipleship to Jesus.

Welcome

Invitation To Spaces

This first phase is simply an invitation. You are welcome here. As you consider whether or not this is the community you want to be a part of. We have created several spaces for your introduction to our church. 

Sunday Gatherings

Sunday Gatherings are the primary way we gather as a church to worship together, learn the Scriptures, pray for one another, and create space to hear from the Spirit.

Welcome To Zion

The event we hold introduces you to our story, what we believe, and the rhythms we have as a church. For anyone new to the church or recent in their attendance this will be a time for you to get to know us and for us to get to know you.

Table Groups 

Table Groups are spaces where our community gathers around a table to share a meal and engage in meaningful conversation

Prayer Rooms 

The prayer room is a space designed to help followers of Jesus awaken their imagination for prayer and encounter the living God. The room is thoughtfully organized with various prompts around the room. Although the prayer room is a shared space, this expression of prayer is both personal and private.

Discover

Opportunities To Explore 

The next phase is all about exploration. After you have gotten to experience our community, exploring whether or not to call this community home will naturally bring up all sorts of questions. As you explore what it means to follow Jesus with us, we invite you into these next steps. 

Baptism

Baptism is the action of living into the story of Jesus by passing through the waters. When a person is submerged into the waters of baptism they are identifying with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. The old person is buried in the water in the likeness of his death and the new person is raised from the waters to walk in newness of his resurrected life. We want to invite you to follow Jesus in obedience into the waters of baptism.

Formation Groups 

Formation Groups are a space where our community gathers around practicing the way of Jesus through learning, conversations and shared practices. In this space we learn how to be with Jesus, become like Jesus and do what Jesus did. 

Family

Commitment To Rhythms 

We feel that life with Zion City Church is fully realized when we participate in four key rhythms. Through these commitments, we are ordering our lives around the way of Jesus and allowing ourselves to be transformed, both as individuals and as a church family. We invite you to partner with us in this life as disciples of Jesus.

Gather On Sundays

Our Sunday Gatherings are the primary way we gather as a church. Together we engage in communal worship, formative liturgy, transformative teaching and meaningful encounters with God in prayer.  To call Zion home means you are committed to regularly attending these gatherings.

Connect In Community 

While we love and value our Sunday Gatherings for communal worship, formative liturgy, transformative teaching and meaningful encounter with Jesus, we realize this space is insufficient to cultivate the depth of relationships we need. So during the week we connect in community through smaller groups such as table groups, formation groups, and kin groups. To call Zion home means you are committed to regularly connecting with at least one of these groups. 

Serve The City

We believe that it is vital for followers of Jesus to use their gifts and resources to be in service of others. This looks like first serving the community that is Zion but also serving the larger community around us. This is how we actively participate in seeing the kingdom of God break into Valencia County. To call Zion home means you are committed to regularly serve the city of Los Lunas. 

Give Generously 

To follow Jesus means that we are people of generosity. This means that whenever possible we are looking for ways to share our time, money, energy, resources and lives with those around us. Each week as a community, we pray that our community would be so committed to generosity that there would be no needy person among us. To call Zion home means you are committed to regularly give of your time, money, energy and resources to the work that God is doing through Zion.
