Rossville Testimonials
True hospitality is what this wonderful church is all about. It’s the place that reflects Jesus’s love…
I just want to say thank you God for blessing me with my Rossville family. All the prayers, love, care given to me and my family. In trying times, and Lord knows there have been many, I will continue to trust in the Lord and my church family.
Rossville is such a wonderful community of saints that provide a welcoming atmosphere. I’m proud to call this my church home!
“By the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not without effect.” (1 Cor. 15:10) I am in a good place by His grace. Incidentally, this also means God’s work in your life changes you. It’s not for nothing, and there will be results.
I just want to say thank you for all of the blessing the Rossville AME Zion Church family and its rich cultural heritage has given to our family. Being a part of this church community means so much to my family.
