Accepting Christ as your Savior is the first step in your journey toward hope, love, and purpose.
At Greater Zion, we invite you to begin your faith walk by following the ABC’s of Salvation:
ABCs of Salvation:
Admit: Admit you are a sinner and ask for forgiveness.
Admit you are a sinner. “There is no one righteous, not even one … for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). Ask God’s forgiveness. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
Believe: Believe in Jesus as the Son of God who gives eternal life.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16). Become a child of God by receiving Christ. “To all who receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12).
Confess: Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead.
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9).
Romans 10:9-10 says, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
Pray the Prayer of Salvation
“Lord Jesus, I ask You to come into my life to save me and forgive me of all my sins. I confess my sins before You this day. I denounce Satan and all his works. I confess Jesus as the Lord of my life. Thank You for saving me. I believe with my heart, and I confess with my mouth that You rose from the dead and died for my justification. Write my name in the Lamb’s book of life. For I am now saved! I pray this prayer to the Father in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
Congratulations!If you’ve prayed this prayer, we rejoice with you! Begin your journey by:
- Reading and reflecting on God’s Word
- Communicating with Him daily in prayer.
- Joining a Bible-believing church, like Greater Zion, where you can grow in faith and fellowship.

Join Our Church
Welcome to Greater Zion! We are
excited that you have decided to join us as a member! While we are not a
perfect church, we strive to perfectly demonstrate the love and joy of Christ.
Here’s how to join us as a member:
- Profession of Faith
The most important decision you’ll
ever make is to invite Christ into your life. If you’re ready to accept Him,
you can walk forward at the conclusion of any sermon and share your decision
with the congregation and Pastor. A Deacon and a member of our Evangelism
Ministry will then guide you to our Deacon’s office, where they will explain
the plan of salvation, answer your questions, and pray with you. They’ll also
collect your information and provide you with a schedule for new member
classes, helping you take the next steps in your faith journey.

Experience
If you’ve already accepted Christ
and are looking for a church home, we welcome you to join us at Greater Zion.
At the end of a sermon, you can come forward to let the congregation and Pastor
know you feel led to make Greater Zion your church family. A Deacon and a
member of our Evangelism Ministry will meet with you to answer any questions,
pray with you, and gather your information. You’ll also receive a schedule for
our new member classes, where you’ll begin building connections and growing in
your faith.

If you prefer not to walk forward,
we offer a simple way to connect with us. If you are attending in person,
please take an Invitation Card from the welcome center in the lobby. Fill it out
and hand to an usher as you leave. A member of our Deacon’s Ministry will
contact you to answer any questions and ensure everything is in place for your
next steps. Once all your questions are answered and your information is
