There are two (2) classes of Membership in ZION:

1. Probationer - each new member is received on probation unless that person has a 'letter of transfer' from another recognized Christian Church. That person is not required to wait for the full six (6) months probationary period.

The Probationer is admitted to the next step after spending a period of study with the pastor and when they have given satisfactory evidence of a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
