What is the purpose of Mount Zion International School of Ministry?
The heart and vision of Mount Zion International School of Ministry is to raise up young people who know God intimately and will give the entirety of their lives to serve Him. We look for students who are serious about wanting to know the Lord and are willing to give Him their all, to follow where He leads. We have a good academic program, founded on the Word of God. We believe the closer an individual walks with Jesus and the better they know Him and His heart, the better equipped they are to present Him to others.
