Welcome to Mount Zion!
Welcome to Mount Zion!

We are so glad you’re here.
This year, we joyfully celebrate 147 Years of Faith, Hope, and Love—147 years of walking together with Christ, serving our community, and lifting up His name. Our cause is Christ! Everything we do flows from that foundation—His love, His mission, and His call to serve.

Mount Zion is more than just a church—it’s a vibrant, multicultural family rooted in faith and committed to loving and serving all people. Whether you’re a member or just visiting, you’ll find open doors and open hearts here. Our mission is clear: to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and pray for all people—just as Jesus did.

We welcome everyone—regardless of race, cultural background, gender, or sexual orientation—and we do so with compassion, accountability, and the love of Christ. Our church is a place where people from all walks of life can grow in faith and feel at home.

As we rejoice in 147 years of impactful ministry, we remember the thousands who came before us, give thanks for the work God is doing right now, and look ahead with excitement to what’s to come. If you haven’t joined us yet for worship, Bible study, prayer, or any of our community events, we warmly invite you to come and be a part of this incredible journey.

Come see what God is doing at Mount Zion—We’ll be so glad you did.

Dr. Olivia Stanard- Pastor
