The Mt. Zion Church was organized in 1923 under the leadership of Rev. M.P. Shephard with a small congregation but faithful band of worshipers giving God the glory and praise under a tent on Deacon Ike Moore’s place. During the winter months service were held in a little log cabin on Deacon Tom Holloway’s property.
In June of 1924, Pastor Shephard ran an eight (8) days Revival and the theme was “Fighting against sin” twenty (20) souls were won to the kingdom of GOD and baptized. We can only imagine they came from near and far, from all walks of life.
The first church building was built in 1925 with trees donated by Deacon William Wyse and 1(one) acre of land donated by H.W. McCouren.
