2011 Ministry Teams and
Functional Areas
Zion United Methodist Church, West Walworth, NY is a permission-giving church led by a Leadership Council encouraging people to use their gifts where they feel led. There are no committees or committee chairs. Instead, there are Ministry Teams and Ministry Team leaders and members. Each Ministry Team offers an open invitation for anyone to get involved as they feel called. The Leadership Council also encourages anyone to start a new Ministry in any area where they see a need and feel so led to use their gifts to begin a Ministry. In addition, there are functional areas that are filled by gifted and dedicated people that round out the activities that keep us a vibrant and healthy small church – celebrating our core values of prayer, worship, music and missions.
