Benevolent Ministries

Zion's Benevolent Ministries handle our involvement and impact in the local community as well as significant international endeavors. From ministry teams responding to natural disasters to supporting schools and churches in Namibia, Africa, Zion is actively seeking to make a difference in the world in the name of Christ. As stewards of all God has blessed us with, twenty-five percent of Zion's income is intentionally used for mission outside of our regular programming.

Community KitchenTogether with other area churches, Zion supports the Clear Lake Community Kitchen both with benevolent dollars and volunteers.

Y.W.A.M./D.T.S. and even S.O.M.E.: Over the past two years, Zion has had ten youth enter the field of mission work.  The Zion youth signed up with Youth with a Mission and completed Discipleship Training School and then spent 3 months "in the field" doing outreach, service work, and evangelism. Three of the youth continued on with additional training in the School of Missions and Evangelism and one, Emily Brager, is now on staff with  YWAM leading mission groups.  Benevolence has allocated money to help support youth that feel God's call to do this mission work.
