“Zion” was God’s dwelling place in Jerusalem (Ps. 9:11). A “movement” is an active, mighty agitation of resistance, focused on a particular goal. Thus, by definition, Zion Movement is an active assembly of saved individuals in which God dwells, who through music, are focused on setting up resistance to the adversary of this world, for Christ’s sake. Inspired by God; led by the Holy Spirit; sustained through prayer, fasting, and faith; and founded by Min. Dexter D. Walker; Zion Movement (ZM) was established in May of 2003, in the basement of Walker’s grandparents’ home. Sacredly devoted to God for divine purpose, ZM’s mission includes defying “the norm” and stepping outside of the box of ministry. In addition to outreach ministry, ZM also actively practices in-reach activities, which develop and enhance the spirituality of each member. This helps to create a more effective ministry that will uphold its Mission of Ministry.
Truly on the “MOVE” spreading the love of God and the message of holiness, ZM has been featured and invited to numerous concerts, musicals and worship services. The ministry has been blessed to share the stage with some of gospel music’s finest: Albertina Walker & The Caravans, Dr. Bobby Jones, Chicago Mass Choir, Bishop Walter Hawkins, Dewayne Woods, Ricky Dillard, Hezekiah Walker, James Hall, Ricky Dillard, New Direction, LaShun Pace, Donald Lawrence, Angie Spivey, Clark Sisters, Charles G.
