In a day when churches nationwide are in a state of flux, giving-in to new philosophy's of purpose-driven ministry and changing doctrines, Mt. Zion Baptist Church stands and faces the wind to remain the way we have always been—"Church, the way it used to be." We stress solid Bible preaching and teaching, emphasize family living for Christ, focus on reaching out to our community and the world with the Gospel, and try to guard against the influx of worldliness into the church.
If you are looking for this kind of church, please contact us. Don't complain about what you don't have. Don't sit there and wish you had something like this. Do something about it. Serving Christ can be exciting again. Come and worship with us this next Sunday.
