Thomas Jefferson Simmons Institute honors the ministry of Zion's first associate pastor, Pastor Jeff Simmons. Pastor Jeff's appetite for Christ-centered biblical study, leadership, theology, preaching, and teaching is central to the heart of the TJSI.
Ephesians 4:12 provides a simple yet compelling vision for TJSI: "to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ." The necessity to make disciples and equip God's people for the work of ministry is essential to the vision of Zion's Senior Pastor, Keith Battle, and it's also central to the mission of Zion Church. As a result of this mission, every participant of TJSI will not only experience information but transformation. Every class facilitates spiritual maturity and empowers you to operate in your unique gifting.
