"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7-8 KJV Brother Zebedee Moore proved himself to be a man of great courage and determination promoting the cause of Christ. Minister Zebedee Moore, 78, of Valdosta, Georgia heeded his Savior's call on Friday, August 28, 2020 at home.
Brother Moore was born June 3, 1942 to Sister Lois Moore Williams and the late John Moore, Sr. in Camilla, Georgia.
He attended school in Lowndes County, graduating from Pinevale High School in 1961. After graduating from high school, he went on to attend Southwestern Christian College in Terrell, Texas and Oklahoma University. He received his Masters’ Degree from Valdosta State University.
Brother Moore was a man of great faith and wisdom and was anchored in the Lord. He started his Christian journey as a minister in the Methodist church and was later introduced to the Church of Christ. He was baptized into the Body of Christ by Brother S. Dudley. After becoming a member of Christs’ Body, he went on to become a Church of Christ Minister. While attending college in Oklahoma, he traveled to Chicago on weekends to preach the Gospel.

He served as minister to Westside Church of Christ, Jacksonville, FL; West Adair Church of Christ, Valdosta, GA; Sweetwater Church of Christ, Jacksonville, FL; River Street Church of Church, Valdosta, GA and West Hill Church of Christ, Valdosta, GA.

He traveled over the brotherhood conducting Gospel Meetings and speaking at Lectureships. He gave sixty plus years to preaching God’s Word. After retirement from his active pulpit duties, he served as Minister Emeritus and spiritual adviser to the West Hill Church of Christ.
