I have no doubt that you have witnessed the conditions that face us all in Wolverhampton and beyond. It may be that you or someone close to you has experienced some of these challenges first-hand. I want to assure you that God has the power to turn things around in people’s lives, and He is looking for ordinary people just like you who are willing to be part of God’s solution. At ZCT we are committed to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, and demonstrating His great love for people in ways that are practical as well as spiritual.
Our desire is:
It is the presence of God that makes the difference in people’s lives, that gives the strength needed to handle life and all of its challenges. At ZCT we want those who attend to be able to experience God’s Presence in our worship services, and prepare them to continue that experience also in every day life.
As human beings we were created to worship. Not just to sing songs, and lift hands, but to have a true sense of fellowship and reverence for God At ZCT we won’t let routines, rituals and traditions get in the way of a Divine Encounter
The Gospel of Jesus Christ was originally committed to one race. But it was never intended to remain that way. All people, all races, from all walks of life are those same ones for whom Jesus Christ gave his life. At ZCT we endeavour to push past all boundaries in order to embrace all who are willing to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ.
Using simple terms, we have set out below the basic teachings of Zion City Tabernacle:

Getting baptised, getting married, having a child and having or preparing funerals are key events in the lives of individuals and families. ZCT is here to give you advice, support and help add to the sense of occasion. The guides below will help.
Baptism is a demonstration that you have left the old life of sin behind and have made a conscious decision to follow Christ. It is an act that is carried out by someone who is convicted of his or her sins and has repented. ‘Then Peter said unto them, repent and be baptised everyone of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and he shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost’ Acts 2:38 Every true believer is directed by the Bible to be baptised; it is essential in order to obey God. Jesus said in Mark 16:16 ‘He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved’ Once you are baptised you are then required to live a different kind of life. Your lifestyle must change to reflect the change in your status. You become a ‘Child of God’, you take on His Name and His characteristics. The old ‘person’ who has a sinful nature is changed. Your friends, relatives and colleagues should see the change in you. ‘Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.’ Romans 6:4
When you:
Are doing this to follow friends or relatives Do not understand the significance of baptism and why you wish to be baptised Are not able to explain in simple words why you wish to be baptised.
We believe that baptism is such a major step in your life that some form of counselling and basic teaching is essential. Those who counsel you will not force you to be baptised; but help you to understand the meaning of repentance, salvation and baptism in order to assist you to make a conscious decision about this important step. What If You Are In A Difficult Circumstance, for example, Un-Married And In A Long-Term Relationship? Counselling is available to all potential candidates who consider themselves to be in difficult circumstances.
If after reading this you wish to be baptised please contact one of the Ministerial Team.
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them and departed thence’ St. Matthew 19: 13-15 The dedication of your child unto God is a very important milestone in your child’s life. At ZCT Infant Dedication is done as part of the normal worship service, and parents, and God parents get the opportunity to openly declare their commitment to bring up the child in the nurture as advised in Ephesians 6:4 ‘And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.’ Parents are also told in Proverbs 22:6 to: ‘Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it’ You do not have to be a member of ZCT to have your child dedicated here. However, parents are encouraged to bring their children to Sunday School, when they are old enough.
You and the child’s Godparents will be asked to bring your child to the altar. After a short talk, and a few simple questions, the officiating minister will anoint your child with olive oil before pronouncing a blessing on your child. If you are aware that your child is allergic to olive oil, you are required to notify the Minister prior to the dedication.
If after reading this you would like to discuss your child's dedication please contact one of the Ministerial Team.
The church is here not only for the joyous moments but also for those that we as people find most challenging. Our church is available to host funeral services in a way that provides support to families, and preserving the dignity of loved ones that have passed away.
