Sweet Southern Belle

My dear husband has been a full-time pastor for ten years now. And, I’ve been a pastor’s wife for close to six years. Being a pastor’s wife can be quite interesting and certainly gives me a different perspective on church than a regular member. However, I have to say that my dear husband and I have been blessed beyond measure with our current church. We are nearing the close of our fifth year of service at Mt Zion Baptist Church. It’s a wonderful, gracious, friendly, God-fearing church. This morning as I participated in worship I reflected over my years at Mt. Zion and was reminded of how thankful I am to be a part of such a GREAT church.

 

Here are only a few of the reasons I LOVE my church.

 

1. The People. I’ve made many friendships through this wonderful congregation. The people love and respect my husband. They have allowed us both to “grow-up” in ministry. They work along-side us. And, to illustrate, just how friendly this congregation is, today my family and I had three lunch offers. To many friends is a much better problem than to few!

 

2.You are free to think and question. I actively participate in a Sunday school class where it’s expectable to ask “Why” and to voice opinions that may not be popular “Baptist” ideas.

 

3. Missions. They actively meet the needs of hurting people both in our own community, country and around the world. They don’t just “talk” they “do”.

 

4. The worship is comfortable and inviting to me. It’s very similar to the style of worship that I grew-up with. (This is not to say that any other style is wrong, just what I’m used to) And, our music pastor is an exceptionally talented musician!

 

5. The preaching is good and relevant to life. Our Preaching Pastor is intelligent, funny, and passionate about Christ.

 

6. Last but not least…..they have the best youth pastor around! J

 

 

 

I would never pretend that being a pastor’s wife is always rosy but I can honestly say at this church it’s rosy far more often than not. Thank You Mt. Zion for five great years!
