Jr. Youth Group

The Mt. Zion Junior Youth Group was founded in the late 1950’s by Jane and Kenneth Beam and at that time it was called Christian Endeavor. Jane and Kenneth served as leaders for 26 years. Today the JYG is led by Sherry Warrick.

JYG meets every Wednesday evening, from 6:30 – 8:00 pm. Children of any age are welcome to attend, as long as they are old enough to sit through a story. Our group is made up of Mt. Zion and Ground Oak kids as well as those from the surrounding community and we try to uphold the Christian Endeavor Pledge that began our organization seventy five years ago.

Christian Endeavor Pledge

Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength,
I promise Him that I will strive to do
whatever He would have me do;
I will make it the rule of my life
to pray and to read the Bible every day;
I will support the work and worship of my church
in every way possible;
I will seek to bring others to Christ;
And so far as I know how,
I will endeavor to lead a Christian life
