Senior Adult Ministry

Ernest Hill, Minister of Senior Adults

Even though Mount Zion Baptist Church is primarily a young to middle adult congregation, we have a vital, active senior adult ministry that is growing along with the rest of the congregation. We also have recently changed our name to SonShiners Ministry. Our SonShiners have been very active in the ministry of our Lord and Mount Zion Baptist Church and will continue to serve vital functions of ministry in the future. As you look at the elected leadership it becomes very apparent that the SonShiners are active in all areas of our church life and we are very thankful for their ministry. We believe that growing older does not mean that we should become less active in our Lord’s ministry, but rather we should find the place of service that God has for us where we can use our knowledge and experience for His glory.
Our SonShiners Ministry consists of several areas.

• SonShine Club activities

• Monthly meetings

• Weekly Bible Study

• Trips and activities

• Ministries

• Monthly newsletter (see link above)

• SonShiners Choir

• Involvement in other programs of the church: Sunday School, Discipleship Training, Woman’s Missionary Union, Men’s Ministry, and Music

This program is planned and administered under the direction of a senior adult planning council and the Minister of Senior Adults. This group plans a yearly calendar of activities and ministries.

This specific ministry was begun in the early 1970s and continued primarily as a senior adult club ministry into the late 1980s. The ministry was revitalized in 1990 with the formation of the SonShine Club. In 1993 SonShine Singers were formed. It is now called the SonShiners Choir.
