Objective of the Charity

“Generally,” Mount Zion is an independent Charity, and a member of the Assemblies of God1ncorporated (which is also a registered charity - 1032245). The objectives of the Church are for the benefit of the public; and are in accordance with the general aims of the Assemblies of God denomination, which briefly include the following.

The purpose of Assemblies of God is to give every man, woman and child the opportunity of understanding the gospel and to provide a church where they can grow in ministry for the glory of God. The Assemblies of God is seeking to become a relevant and powerful expression of the Church to the community. The Fellowship recognises the importance of the Universal Church and therefore sees its development in this context.

We are committed to reaching out to people of all ages and from all walks of life including those who are often marginalised by society. We also believe in showing God's love to people in practical ways. In addition to helping those in our local communities, we are passionate about issues that affect our wider world, such as poverty and injustice.
