From The Pastor's Pen

As Pastor of the Mt Zion Baptist Church, I extend to you our sincere thanks for the time executed in browsing our church web page.
        Our church is located on 103 Mt Zion Drive, highway 418, Fountain Inn, South Carolina. This permanent location was established some one hundred plus years. It has weathered the storms and continues to be a united church of Christ. She stands on a beacon of hope for any and everyone.
        Our desire and goal is:
Helping those who are lost to find a haven of SAFETY
Helping those who are cold and shivering from the worlds cruel and abusive ways to find WARMTH
Helping those who are tired and worn to find Christ and become REFRESHED.
We hope, as you explore this web page, you will find an interest in the various ministries organizations and activities.
         Our ultimate goal is to present opportunities for Christian growth by developing the whole person.

Our motto: Reaching the Lost; Teaching the Found.

The found becomes evident through teaching and preaching God's word through the ministries of our church.
As pastor, I really appreciate the cooperation of the members in developing ways to activate our motto. It is through a united effort of concern for people that we are able to do this. God has blessed us with great Christian talent through our members.
        The Mt Zion Baptist church family divinely gives God thanks and praise for blessings we receive. As we come to recognize and realize that our gifts and blessings of praise are not about us but always about Him.
If it is your desire and God's providence to unite with us in promoting God's kingdom, we welcome you with open arms and sincere hearts.
        We truly believe that WHEN THE WORK OF GOD is performed by his people THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD, we will EXPERIENCE THE WONDERS OF GOD.
           For your taking the time to read this web page, my prayer is: May God bless you and give you the strength to praise Him, the Wisdom to Serve Him and the Courage to Proclaim Him.

In Christ We all Stand United.
