I have a passion to see God’s people come to Him with their whole self knowing He will be excited to meet them where they are. Through the years, I have been involved in many ministries with in Mt. Zion. I am currently a member of the nursery ministry where I am able to impart God’s word and His love to the smallest among us. My wonderful husband, Joe and I were married in 1991. We have two teenagers and one pre-school aged child. We happily moved to Greenville, S.C. in 1999 and have enjoyed living here ever since.
Len Jarvis • Church Mountain
I was born and raised in Connecticut and lived there until 1989 when a career move caused us to relocate to South Carolina. Linda and I have been married for over twenty-one years and have six children. Although my parents had raised me in the Catholic Church it wasn’t until the age of 46 that I began a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and asked Him to become the Lord of my life. In 1994 we started to attend MZCF. Mens Groups/LIFE Groups have been a significant part of my growth in the Lord, and with others around me. For over ten years I have been passionately involved in leading LIFE Groups and coaching other LIFE Group Leaders. Through my own journey I see the importance of connecting with others and growing both vertically in the Lord and laterally in “one-another” relationships. My vision for the Church Mountain is to see a healthy church that has the unity that Christ prayed for us to have.
Monique Law • Church Mountain
I graduated from Clemson in 1988, I hadn't found a job yet, and my mom gave me an every-day language New Testament Bible. I didn't know the LORD, didn't go to church at all, but felt intrigued that my mom, of all people, would give me this book to read. I read it with a technical mind but a hard heart. However in reading it, I found that Christ himself was not hard-hearted, his expectations of us was not that impossible because He gave us himself to live this life. I could see it, it seemed right, logical, achievable; I wanted him. I received Christ in August of 1989.
After years of seeing hypocrisy in the church (and myself) I left the physical buidling of the church and began immersing myself into TV ministry. The isolation made me even more vulnerable. Eventually I found a church where I could grow, be in fellowship within the body and small groups, all of which led me to a place that I could begin finding ways to resolve those inner conflicts. After moving back to South Carolina, in 1994, I searched for a new church home and finally joined Mt. Zion in 1998, where I have been part of the Intercession, Coffee, Usher, Creative Arts, and Women's Ministries. Over the years, I've found that I am administrative, an encourager, a giver and a prophet.
After years of being led by tradition, self-effort, independence, logic, and my own sense of justice of what is right, I am learning and challenged to be Truly led by the Spirit of God and by the Word of God. That is what I want for the Church. That is why my Mountain is the Church Mountain. God, His Spirit, His Word (written and rhema) must be the Church's focus, and the Body's focus. Anything else or less is idolatry. He is our Teacher, Our Comforter, our Master and Lord. He connects, He leads, He orchestrates. He's the Master Administrator, the Master Planner, God of the Universe building His Kingdom through us. What a privilege we have as His Body. Through the Church His Kingdom comes.
