Upon completion of Ministers Candidate School in 1978, Pastor Loren began shepherding the Bible study group and over a short period of time, Mt Zion Church was birthed from a handful of people who were dedicated to the vision that the Lord had given Pastor Loren: “I will make you a vessel of the new wine and I will give you a people that out of their midst shall flow the wine of the Lord. Multiplication and increase. Multiplication and increase.” It was at this time that the ministry of Mt Zion began its awesome journey.
