Mt. Zion Baptist Church - Monroe, LA
Rev. Ike Byrd, III, Pastor

The Circle of the Chosen Ministry is a year round youth ministry. It coordinates the activities of youth departments of participating churches in much the same way as the lessons of the Sunday School are coordinated through the International Council of Churches. Basically, all participating churches are following the same schedule of activity, theme and study.
The primary objective of the ministry is to encourage the study and memorization of key scriptures by youth at an early age. The memorization is encouraged through a series of tournaments staged across the state through which youth demonstrate bible knowledge as they have fun ministering in skits, liturgical dances, mime, cheer, and many other activities. The purpose of the tournaments is bible memorization and familiarization. We are aware that simple memorization of scripture does not change people but it is the first step in discipleship, which is the aim of the ministry.
