Discover WhoWe Are
At East Mount Zion Baptist Church, we are a community of intergenerational kingdom builders passionate about Jesus and sharing His love with the world. Our congregation is made up of individuals from diverse backgrounds, united by our faith and commitment to living out the Gospel.
We are outward-focused, socially conscious, and driven by the mission of Christ.
Why We Exist
We Exist to build the Kingdom of God through Sharing the Love of Christ to every person and helping every generation grow in faith.

We exist to build God’s Kingdom by sharing Christ’s love and helping every generation grow in faith. Through worship, discipleship, and service, we seek to nurture spiritual growth, strengthen families, and impact communities. We’re called to reach the lost, disciple believers, and connect people to their God-given purpose.
God has called us to:
Reach – Radically reach people for the Kingdom of God.
Disciple – Equip every generation to understand their God-given purpose and spiritual gifts.
Connect – Help people find and fulfill their God-given Kingdom assignment.
- Discipleship – We believe the ultimate goal of every believer is to grow as a disciple of Christ in the world.
- Prayer – We believe prayer is the priority for Kingdom impact. Everything begins and ends with prayer, just as Jesus taught His disciples.
- Worship – We believe worship is core to a true experience with God.
- Community – We believe God has not placed us here to do Kingdom work alone.
- Generosity – We believe the Kingdom calls us to give generously in all ways to all people.
- Service – We believe that we are the hands and feet of Jesus—it’s Matthew 25 for us.
What To Expect
Being a first-time visitor at any church can often be quite confusing, and sometimes even a little uncomfortable. We understand that, so we put considerable time and thought into making your experience as pleasant and relaxed as possible. Here are some of the benefits of visiting our church:
Friendly and welcoming atmosphere:
When you pull into the parking lot, right off the bat you’re greeted with waves and warm smiles by our 1st Touch Committee team that directs traffic in all kinds of weather so you never have to hunt for a parking space, even when the place is packed. Then, you walk through the main entrance, and two or more cheerful greeters are waiting with open arms to hug you.
Engaging and inspiring worship and preaching:
The sanctuary doors swing open 15 minutes before service, and that’s our cue that it’s time to worship. In two words, we praise. Expect energy, expect passion, and expect Holy Spirit to move. The same goes for the message. Be prepared for a Spirit-filled and Spirit-lead worship experience!
Fellowship + Free coffee and tea
From there, you’re directed to our Atrium & Banquet Hall, where you can enjoy fellowship! And sometimes even some coffee, tea, and great music on some occasions!
