Mt Hebron

African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church

Mt. Hebron A.M.E. Zion Church is a connectional church. We are of the Christian faith and proclaim Jesus Christ as the Son of God and our redeeming Savior. Mt. Hebron is affiliated with the historic African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (also known as The Freedom Church). The mission of the A.M.E. Zion Church is to increase our love for God and to help meet the needs of humankind by “Loving God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with our entire mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.” Implicit in this statement is the belief that the church should have a positive relationship to humankind horizontally. We also share in the mission of His Son Jesus Christ, in “healing the sick, helping the blind to receive sight, the lame to walk, the leper to be cleansed, the deaf to hear, the dead to be raised, and the poor to have the Good News preached to them" (Luke 4:18).

We actualize this mission by praising God, by being obedient to the demands of the Gospel, by telling the story of God’s gracious acts in creating and redeeming the world, by inviting persons to commit their lives to Jesus Christ, and by serving as ministers of God’s liberating and reconciling grace.

"Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy."(Psalm 99:9)

"For one you were darkness, but now i the Lord your are light- for the fruit of the light is found in everything that is good and right and true" (Ephesians 5:8-9, NRSV).

"Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life..." (Philippians 2:15-16, NLT).

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;" (1 Peter 2:9, KJV).
