RZUA

Click here to watch Bishop John Ghee recent sermon on taking courage in these troubling times

RZUA (Reformed Zion Union Apostolic Churches of America) is a Methodist Christian denomination with a predominantly African American membership. RZUA’s thirty-four congregations, seeking to empower others to walk more faithfully in the loving and liberating ways of Christ, are mostly in the South Hill and Tidewater areas of Virginia.

RZUA, founded in 1869 in Boydton, Virginia, was originally known as the Zion Union Apostolic Church. After a reorganization in 1882, we became the Reformed Zion Union Apostolic Church.

If you live anywhere in our area, we invite you to visit one of our churches so that together we might join in ministering in Christ’s name to a hurting world.
