At Zion, we aim to create an environment (through the help of the Holy Spirit) where people genuinely care for one another, are spiritually nurtured, and work together for the greater good.
Zion has a rich history that began in 1863 while located in the Butts County Pepperton Community. Records indicate that a group of 36 former slaves had been given permission by the white First Baptist Church where they attended to organize their own church following the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. From the time of its inception to the present, Zion has stood as a beacon of light among the black community and all people of Jackson, Georgia. Throughout its rich history, many great leaders have graced the pulpit to help lead the church to prominence. Our number one goal is to be seen and not just heard, to exemplify the life that Christ lived for the glory of our Father in Heaven.
At Zion, we believe in the life-changing power of the Gospel, the authority of God’s Word, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we strive to live out our faith in love, service, and truth.
