Our Mission
Our Mission: We, Zion Stone Valley Church, seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance to help us as individuals to share Jesus’ new command “to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your mind, and your neighbor as your self.” Luke 10:27 We also strive to fulfill Jesus’ mandate to “Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19 We will do this by welcoming all people to worship God; by encouraging participation in the ministry of Christ through Christian outreach with our sisters and brothers.
