Church History
Mount Zion is over ninety-years old. After the Civil War ended in 1865 slave owners in the area began to allow its former slaves to buy property In most cases it was stipulated, however, that the land to be sold or given should should be top land. This is important becuase the first location of the church was on a hill far from the river and road that was near the river. Land given to the church by Elizabeth Hardin McBath became the site of the fist Mt. Zion AME Zion Church. Reverned M.M. Morris was the first pastor and by September 1904 a small black African American Church stood on a hill near Singleton Station Road. At this location, the building served as both worship place and school, from grades first through eigth. The church also served as a gathering place for everyone in the community, making the location one of the first that the early residents remembered.
