Hear from Pastor Justin
Hi Church,
With a full year since the merger of ZION and Res Church, I’m continually blown away thinking about all the incredible things God has done. Due to Build the Church 2023, we were able to fund a full time ZKIDS BK director position, invest in overseas mission with D + K, & successfully complete a merge while still prioritizing launching new ministries. Praise God!
It’s evident that the year-end offering allows us to make an undeniable difference in our community and world so we plan to continue! There are three opportunities that God is giving us in 2025 to Build The Church. I’m asking you to pray and then make a generous year-end offering in December.
Digital Reach
Your gift will expand our welcome to those spiritually seeking and enable ZION to be a positive influence in the social media space.
Ministry Expansion
Your contribution will catalyze ZION ministry through solidifying budgets, investing in leadership development & restoring the Benevolence Fund.
Staten Island Merger
You can participate in God’s work in Staten Island helping two congregations become one.
If we can reach our $85,000 goal this December, we can fully resource our ministries in 2025. So let’s build the church. There’s an incredible amount of transformative work ahead, and I’m grateful to be doing it alongside you.
Much Love,
Justin Mattera
PARTICIPATING IN MISSION
Digital Reach
How do people first hear about ZION? The internet. We want to steward our digital reach wisely so that we can continue to welcome those spiritually thirsty for a fresh encounter with God. You can be part of God’s work in reaching those that are currently strangers to become new family members.
STRENGTHENING CHURCH OPERATIONS
Ministry Expansion
Our capacity for ministry will be possible with your generosity. There are three key areas that are foundational to the work at ZION: Budgets, Leadership Development, & Benevolence.
BUDGETS
As our church grows, so do our ministries. This year we saw a large need to significantly increase the budgets we provide to all our ministries to accomplish a continued year of thriving work. Your contribution will mean adequate ministry budgets for the upcoming year.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
As we continue to grow and develop our leadership teams and ministries for a healthy church, it is important to pour into our leaders. Your gift will ensure our leaders get the resources they need to grow and serve the church better.
BENEVOLENCE
Over the past year we have seen so many births, hospital visits, and deaths that our Benevolence fund is not what it once was. Your gift unlocks the church’s ability to respond with care and love to all who have need.
MERGING CONGREGATIONS
Staten Island Merger
Our Westerleigh & Stapleton congregations are merging into ZION Staten Island! God has called us into more effective ministry in 2025, but it’s only possible if the two congregations become one. We praise God that he has provided us with a large meeting space to facilitate this new direction. In order for us to be successful, we need to renovate critical areas in the room, fix and purchase furniture, upgrade the A/V Equipment, and set up a dedicated kids space. Your gift will help us make one time purchases in order to make this a successful merger.
