The Authentic 12 families’ model of organisation is part of the details of the vision that the leaders of Zion Temple Celebration Centre translated and set as a system of discipleship and maintenance of the family spirit, to carter for the challenging individualistic tendencies affecting this generation. With this model, the church is organised into 12 families according to the 12 sons of Jacob as indicated bellow:
1. Reuben blessed according to Deuteronomy 33:6
2. Simeon blessed according to Ezekiel 48:24
3. Levi blessed according to Deuteronomy 33:8
4. Judah blessed according to Deuteronomy 3:7
5. Dan blessed according to Deuteronomy 33:22
6. Naphtali blessed according to Deuteronomy 33:23
7. Gad blessed according to Deuteronomy 33:20
8. Asher blessed according to Deuteronomy 33:24
9. Issachar blessed according to Genesis 49:14
10. Zebulon blessed according to Deuteronomy 33: 18
11. Joseph blessed according to Deuteronomy 33: 13
12. Benjamin blessed according to Deuteronomy 33: 12
Each family has a Patriarch as it was in the ancient times of Israel and each Patriarch or head of the family has twelve children or members, these twelve members have other twelve children and so on and so forth; to which ever generation depending on the size of the church.
The Pastoral Team oversees the Patriarchs in regards to the family.
How to join a family?
In joining a family, people have to choose a family by selecting any random number from 1 to 12 and then tell us the number that they have chosen. We inform him/her the name of that family, as represented on that day of the week and register him/her as a member. We then pass your contacts to the Patriarch of the family that you have chosen for further discipleship.
