The winter of 2005, construction began on a new Currituck Charge parsonage located in Soundside Estates in Grandy. It was dedicated June 18, 2006 under Pastor Glenn H. McCranie in time to provide a home for our new minister, the Rev. David Blackman with his wife Jackie with their sons, Jacob and Joshua. Pastor David's ministry led us faithfully from July 2006 - June 2010. He is well remembered for organizing our Mt. Zion Youth Fellowship; Disciple bible studies; plus expanding into local hands on missions including helping to establish the Lower Currituck Food Drop that eventually led to establishing the first LC Food Pantry in Grandy. He also served faithfully as Chaplain for our Lower Currituck Volunteer Fire Department.
June 2010 - 2013 we were led and worshiped with the Rev. J. Scott Finicum along with his wife LeeAnn and their sons Isaac and Manny. Pastor Scott continued in the role of LC Volunteer Fire Department Chaplain and led "Journeys of Paul" Cooking Classes bible studies. LeeAnn served as a leader in Children’s Ministries and was an active member of the Joyful Hearts Ladies Bible Study. She also served on a trip as a missionary to Haiti.
