Greetings From the Moderator

Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Grace and peace be unto you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

As we move forward this year together under the theme “Forging a New Destiny: Destination - Fellowship,” I am reminded of the exhortation found in Hebrews 10:24–25, which calls us to “consider one another in order to provoke unto love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together… but exhorting one another.”  This sacred charge speaks directly to who we are and who God is calling us to become as a District Association.

Fellowship is not an option for the body of Christ—it is a divine expectation.  It is through fellowship that we are strengthened, encouraged, corrected, and renewed.  As a District, our destiny is forged when we intentionally come together, not merely in attendance, but in unity of purpose, spirit, and love.  Our destination is fellowship that is Christ-centered, Spirit-led, and mission-focused.

I encourage every church, Pastor, officer, and member to embrace this call to deeper connection. Let us be intentional in our gatherings, faithful in our participation, and supportive of one another’s labor in the vineyard.  When we assemble, we declare that we need one another.  When we encourage one another, we reflect the heart of Christ.

In a time when isolation and division seek to weaken the Church, the East Zion Consolidated District Association must stand as a model of unity and cooperation.  Let us provoke one another—not to criticism or comparison—but to love, good works, and faithful service.  Let our fellowship be marked by respect, accountability, and a shared commitment to advancing the Kingdom of God.

As we forge this new destiny together, may our fellowship grow stronger, our bonds deeper, and our witness clearer. Let us walk this path side by side, trusting that God will bless our unity and order our steps toward a future that honors Him.

May the Lord continue to guide, strengthen, and unite the East Zion Consolidated District Association as we journey together toward our destination of fellowship.

In His Service,

 

Dr. Kelly R. Booker, Moderator
East Zion Consolidated District Association
