About our Pastor
Dr. Addis Moore is a Pastor committed to preaching and teaching the Word of God. He received an Honorary Doctorate degree from Saint Thomas Christian College, Jacksonville, Florida; a degree in Business Administration from Albany State University, Albany, Georgia; and a Bachelor of Religious Education from United Theological Seminary, Monroe, Louisiana.
He has pastored Mt. Zion for the past 18 years. Under his dynamic leadership, the membership has more than quadrupled. Christian Education is an integral component at Mt. Zion, changing members into disciples through the schools of the church (Worship, Prayer Service, Bible Study, and Fulfillment Hour [Sunday School]). He leads a full- and part-time staff of 18 and oversees 94 ministries that meet the needs of the members and the community.
He believes that the church should transform the community. He has held community forums to champion literacy and entrepreneurship. He routinely calls the community to action and organizes local pastors and community leaders to curb violence and other negative behaviors that plague the community.
He has led the Church to open two new businesses, the Living Well Fitness Center and the Mt. Zion Bookstore. The Living Well Fitness Center was opened to change the health of the community and economically change lives. The Mt. Zion Bookstore supports the Christian Education Ministry and promotes reading. The Bookstore reinvests in the community and equips the people of God for transformation.
Mt. Zion’s television broadcast, Growing God’s Kingdom According To His Word, is shown 23 times per week in southwest and mid-Michigan to minister to those who are hospitalized, home bound, or otherwise cannot attend any church. It is shown globally on the internet via You Tube and Ustream.
He established an Endowment Fund that provides scholarships and funds ministries. This fund ensures that Mt. Zion will continue to impact lives for years to come.
Dr. Moore’s leadership expands beyond Mt. Zion. He is the Past President of Congress of Christian Education for the Chain Lake District, President of Wolverine State Congress of Christian Education, and an Instructor in the Ministers’ Division and Board Member for the National Baptist Congress of Christian Education. He has become a sought-after workshop lecturer/teacher/preacher in leadership and church growth. In addition, he has co-authored a book, A Biblical Model for Christian Education—Teaching Methods of Jesus.
Pastor Moore was recognized for his community service by Ujima Enterprises and WMU Office of Diversity and Inclusions with The Award of Sankofa for Outstanding Community Service in June 2011. He was also recognized for his community service by the Metropolitan Kalamazoo Branch NAACP Humanitarian Award in November 2011.
He is married to Gwendolyn L. Moore, who holds a Master’s degree in Hospital Administration and is a professional in the medical field. They are the proud parents of two sons, Michael and Christopher, who are both ministers, and one daughter, Veeta Perry.
