Our Ministries


ZCC Missions:

ZCC Missions believes that Jesus commanded us all in Matthew 28:19 to “… go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:8 tells us: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." God has given us a mission and that is what ZCC Missions is all about. We help bring Awareness of the Mission activity going on all around us, we help Equip the body to Go, and we help facilitate Opportunities to act out this Mission both locally and overseas.

Isaiah 61 Ministries:
Binding up the broken hearted…

As the man was brought by his friends through the ceiling tile to get to Jesus, ZCC/Isaiah 61 Ministries builds a bridge to those who are broken in heart, mind, or spirit. For many years issues such as addictions, depression, grief, eating disorders, and even domestic violence have been left outside of the doors. It is our desire to swing the doors open to the secret closets of sin, pain, and sorrow…..and bring an awareness that through Jesus Christ the ZCC Family would be a place of acceptance, healing, and recovery. With that said our Isaiah 61 Equipping Seminars, Growth Groups such as Overcomer's In Christ, GriefShare, Focus, DivorceCare and Counseling are available to support healing.
