We had a great time at the fall seniors' event last week. Pastors Brian and Jonathan shared their hearts for our church. Thank you to all of you who have been dedicated members for so many years and helped shape our church to who it is today and will help propel it into the future through your prayers, encouragement, and gifts!
What was the most encouraging thing the pastors share with you? We'd love to hear it in the comments. 👇

Our ROOTED groups are THE BEST! 🌱
This last week, our ROOTED groups learned about serving, and this group stepped into their service project in a big way. With the close of the Oasis Day Center, TSA Decatur has opened up their showers to the unhoused community. This ROOTED group collected and packed up shower supplies to give to The Salvation Army. 🚿
Great job, guys, for being the hands and feet of Jesus to our community! 🙌

This last Sunday was the last official Sunday for Mt. Zion Christian Church after 52 years of ministry. 🥲🙌 Pastor Ryan Baker from FCC Moweaqua preached the final service as he had served as their youth pastor in the early 2000s. The MTZCC church family enjoyed a lunch together and heard a word from Pastor Ron Lake who served as MTZCC's first pastor. It was a sweet time of honoring the past and looking forward to their future mission as a part of our church family.
We are excited to adopt the MTZCC church family with ours and look forward to our new South Campus coming in February 2027. Please be in prayer for our MTZCC friends as they transition into our church family. May we do the will of God together — reaching the southern part of Macon County. ✝️🙏
