Our Vision

Zion Temple Ministries is a faith-based church in the community endeavoring to meet the needs of every man through God-directed leadership and guidance.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to glorify God who created us. We do this with our time, talent, and treasure, while never forgetting to whom we belong.

Our Mission

Our mission is to go beyond our four walls and embrace the commission of proclaiming the Word of God, both at home and abroad. Our foundation is Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone. We will continue to build on the witness that has gone on before us.

Our History

For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest forever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

Psalm 132:13-14 (KJV)

Zion has been in the Greater Denver Metro Area for over 50 years and under three administrations. The late Suffragan Bishop Roland B. Martin founded Zion Temple Pentecostal Apostolic Church in 1961. During his tenure, the ministry outgrew three locations over a span of 31 years.,

Elder Robert E. Martin, Sr. was appointed as Assistant Pastor in 1992 by Suffragan Bishop Roland B. Martin. Under the leadership of these two great men of God, Zion Temple continued steadfast and unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. On July 2, 1997, Zion Temple Church experienced the greatest sorrow possible with the untimely passing of our beloved Pastor and Founder, Bishop Roland B. Martin. Bishop Martin’s labor of love, many sacrifices, and great contributions left a legacy that continued with the installation of his brother, Elder Robert E. Martin, Sr., to the Pastorate on November 30, 1997.

In 2002, under the leading of the Lord, Pastor Robert E. Martin, Sr., appointed his son, Elder Robert E. Martin, Jr. to serve as the Assistant Pastor. He served under the leadership of his father until he was appointed Pastor in 2005.

Zion Temple Church is the oldest apostolic church in the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc. in Colorado.
