I've been teasing about this being a HUGE announcement. Well, it's huge and it's not huge.
For a long time now, our desire is that Mt. Zion would operate based on Biblical principles rather than denominational structures and traditions. So unlike some traditional Baptist churches, we don't have a deacons board that rules over the pastor (we have Elders) and we are not a part of the National Baptist Convention.
It's huge in the fact that after 143 years, Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church is going non-denominational! This fits our vision to reach all people. Some un-churched people may not even consider visiting a Baptist church.
It's not huge in the fact that nothing really changes. The operation and culture of Mt. Zion will continue to be the same. It's just a name change.
We will officially be called "Mt. Zion" or "Mt. Zion Church". Our non-profit organization will be Mt. Zion, Inc.
So now that it's official, let's continue to Worship Christ, Spread the Gospel, and Serve the Community!
