ALL YOUTH MOVEMENT
Mt. Zion and Mt. Olive are kicking starting a new movement for community youth.
Our vision is to help children transition into the best versions of themselves spiritually, interpersonally, and physically as they approach young adult life with complete confidence and understanding of who they are.
If you or your organization would like more information about AYM,
call Henry Gilmore III at 980-404-1185.
Currently we need assistance with providing book bags for middle and high school students.
Zion Fitness
Line Dancing on Tuesday nights at 6 pm
Exercise can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes and can also improve mood, cognitive function, and overall quality of life. You
can burn approximately 300 calories in one-half hour, and it doesn’t even feel like exercise!
We seek folk who want to play pickleball. If you are interested, reach out to us at (980)404-1185.
We also plan to have youth fitness activities like kickball, flag football, and basketball starting in May 2023.
