Greetings Zion Family,
We are excited to invite you to join us for the next session of the State of Your Church series on Monday, February 23, 2026 at 8:00 PM (ET). We are honored to welcome Bishop Darryl B. Starnes, Sr., Senior Bishop of The A.M.E. Zion Church, who will lead us in exploring our next Dimension of Thriving Churches: Bible Centeredness.
The Bible Centeredness dimension examines how effectively a church helps its members understand foundational biblical teachings and apply them in everyday life. Thriving churches are not only grounded in Scripture—they intentionally cultivate environments where God’s Word shapes beliefs, guides decisions, and transforms lives.
We encourage presiding elders, pastors, preachers, lay ministry leaders, and the entire Zion family to attend and invite others to be part of this meaningful journey of learning and growth.
Yours in Christ,
Rev. Dr. Eleazar Merriweather
Executive Director
Department of Church Growth & Development
The A.M.E. Zion Church
