Since October of 1852 our congregation has been assembling together in worship and fellowship.  Originally named the Swan Creek Christian Church, the congregation has been persistent in telling the world about Jesus.  

We reflect on our history, however, the future is our focus.  Culture is changing.   The way people interact is different.  Constantly we consider how the church can make a greater impact on the world.  It’s our mission to reach out to people and let them know about the Savior we love.  We want to be more effective in serving God.  To guide us in our vision, we have to obey God’s word and evaluate our past.  We must look at where have we succeeded as the church and where have we failed.

Our congregation has been assembling together and worshiping God since October of 1852.  It is our hope that through the years we have brought glory to God and shined our lights in this world of darkness.

The history of our congregation has been fairly well documented.  The original record book of the Mt. Zion Church is now in the safe keeping of the Kentucky Library Manuscript Department on the campus of Western Kentucky University.
