About The Legacy Circle 

Since Zion's inception, “legacy” has been at the forefront of Senior Pastor Keith Battle, Founder. Over the last 23 years, Zion Church has been extraordinary in leaving a lasting impact in the communities we touch locally, nationally, and abroad—by helping others Experience God, Engage in connections, be Equipped through training, and Empowered to serve!

The Legacy Circle includes Zion members who have generously supported the church’s growth over the years. While today’s needs are greater than ever, Zion continues to express love consistently through various ministries, small groups, outreach and missions, global events, social media, radio, and of course, our Sunday worship experiences.  It’s only through generous contributions that we can extend many benefits to the communities we serve, at no charge. Indeed, we've come a long way, but there’s so much more to be done. To that end, Pastor Battle is strategically focusing on “Legacy Branches” to catapult growth for the next generation of Zion.

We appreciate your continued engagement! Your ongoing support is critical to bringing this legacy vision to reality.
