Description

Established in 1866, Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church. The church was founded by Reverend Jordan Bransford and a group of worshippers. During Reverend Bransford's tenure, the church relocated multiple times. Eventually the church was housed on Jefferson Street due to the hosting of service at founding member Sister Mary Cole's home. The current church edifice was erected in 1905 at 1112 Jefferson Street under the administration of Reverend Sandy Matheus.
