Greetings in the name of Christ Jesus.  We are happy you have chosen to visit our website.  Please explore our site to learn about the people who make up New Zion United Methodist Church.  New Zion United Methodist Church is a fellowship of believers who come together to worship and seek guidance from a most loving and gracious God.

Church is not about buildings or programs.  We have buildings and programs, but they are only useful to the extent that we use them to God's satisfaction.New Zion United Methodist Church, Smyrna, South Carolina

You are loved.  You're probably familiar with the John 3:16, or at least maybe you've seen it at a sign at a sporting event.  It says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."  The next verse continues "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."  You see, God's forgiveness is bigger than all of your sins.  Part of our mission is to help you on your journey in seeking God's grace and coming to know His love.

 We are here to serve.  We are saved by faith, not by doing good deeds.  But we believe that when you truly love God, you will truly want to do good works.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12)

 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. (2 Thessalonians 3:16)
