What is "The Mount"?
...on the mission of the waymark...
The word "Zion" originally meant a waymark, and that Old Testament Mount gained its name because it stood out in such a way that people could navigate by it.
Mount Zion is the Church in the Mount committed to the "mission of the waymark" by pointing the way to Jesus for those who don't know Him and discipling those who do as they navigate the adventure of their faith.
The Church in the Mount...
Over a hundred and fifty years ago, a group of believers established what would become known as Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church. Over the decades, we have expanded, built, rebuilt, and moved to our current site at 261 Dix Creek Rd., where our auditorium and education building are built into the side of what we've called "The Mount."
...growing together in the Word of God
Our commitment to clearly proclaiming the Word of God while making real-life application is a core value we hold to. We believe firmly that the Bible is our field guide for all things pertaining to life and godliness.
If you're looking for a church with a vertical vision, focused on the glory of God, and prepared to carry on His work into the 21st century, this may be the place for you.
We'd love to have you and your family visit us and see what the Mount is all about.

At Mount Zion Baptist Church (the Church in the Mount), everything we do is rooted in the love and teachings of Jesus Christ, guided by the timeless truth of the Bible. We're a close-knit, warm community that holds fast to our Baptist heritage and genuinely welcomes everyone—no matter where you are on your spiritual journey—to come explore faith with us.
We believe salvation comes through a personal confession of Jesus as Lord, which opens the door to a real, life-changing relationship with Him and our Heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit. We joyfully celebrate this new life with believer's baptism by full immersion. It's a beautiful picture of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection—and our own dying to sin, being buried with Him, and rising to walk in newness of life as part of His family.
With hearts wide open, we seek to live out Jesus' commands every day: loving and caring for others, sharing the compassion and hope of the Gospel, and making a difference right here in our community and beyond.
We'd love for you to come be part of our family as we grow in faith, serve together, and love one another!
The primary Bible translation we use in preaching is the New King James Version (NKJV). If we reference other versions during a service, we'll note them.
