Small Church with a Big Heart
Zion is a small family church with a big heart. Come to our service and you will encounter great people with a heart for God. We are located in the heart of East Greenwich which is one of the fastest growing communities in NJ. One of our goals is to continue to build relationships with community partners and the residents of East Greenwich. Our prayer as we journey together is that we will not only meet the physical needs of those in our community, and together we will experience the love of God through ministry and outreach.
