Church Organization
Simon Temple A.M.E. Zion Vision Statement
As we proclaim Jesus Christ as head of this church and the manifested word of God, our goal is to teach and preach the word of God with simplicity and understanding, so that we all who are touched by the ministry may apply it to our everyday lives, therefore being transformed by the renewing of our minds that we may be used as vessels to change the lives of those in the community and the whole world, ultimately leaving a mark that will never be forgotten.
