🏈 MTZBC Jersey Sunday Is Coming!

Football season is almost here, and Mount Zion Baptist Church is getting ready to celebrate in style with MTZBC Jersey Sunday!

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes before thousands of fans fill an NFL stadium on game day? This year, we're inviting our members to get a glimpse into the excitement by watching how Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta prepares for an Atlanta Falcons home game. From the early morning setup crews and field preparations to concessions, security, technology, and fan experiences, it takes an entire team working together to create an unforgettable game-day atmosphere.

Just like a football organization prepares for success, every person plays an important role in making the day special. It's a great reminder that teamwork, dedication, and community help accomplish big things—whether on the football field or in our church family.

So, grab your favorite NFL, college, or team jersey and join us for an exciting MTZBC Jersey Sunday celebration. Come ready to learn, fellowship, and get hyped for another exciting football season!

Wear your colors. Rep your team. Celebrate together. Let's get game-day ready, Mount Zion! 🏟️🏈🙌

Sunday Morning Worship Service | Mount Zion Baptist Church Dealing With a Bully, With a Bad Attitude

Have you ever faced a giant-sized problem, an intimidating person, or a difficult situation that tested your faith? Join us as Rev. Carl Pollard delivers a powerful and encouraging message titled “Dealing with a Bully, With a Bad Attitude.”

Drawing from 1 Samuel 17:34-37 and Ephesians 6:13-17, this inspiring sermon reminds us that God's people are not called to face life's battles alone. Just as David trusted God when confronted by Goliath, believers today are equipped with the whole armor of God to stand firm against opposition, negativity, and spiritual challenges.

Whether you missed Sunday's service or would like to revisit this timely message, we invite you to watch the full Sunday Morning Worship Service or the condensed sermon video online. Be encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that through faith in God, every giant can be faced, and every challenge can be overcome.

Watch, share, and be blessed!

Love, Laughter & Fellowship: Couples Ministry Enjoys a Summer Day Out in Fredericksburg


The Mount Zion Baptist Church Couples Ministry enjoyed a wonderful Summer Outing today at Billikins Smoke House in Fredericksburg, sharing an afternoon filled with fellowship, laughter, and great food.

Couples gathered to strengthen friendships, create lasting memories, and celebrate the blessing of Christian companionship in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The outing provided a meaningful opportunity for couples to connect outside of the church setting while enjoying the hospitality and delicious menu that Billikins Smoke House has to offer.

A special thank you goes to our Couples Ministry Event Coordinators, Deacon and Deaconess Parker, for recommending this outstanding location and helping to organize such an enjoyable experience. Their thoughtful planning contributed to a memorable day for everyone in attendance.

The Couples Ministry continues to provide opportunities for couples to grow together in faith, fellowship, and love. We are grateful for each couple who participated and look forward to future events that encourage and strengthen our church family.

Meet the Author. Discover the Message. Be Inspired.

Mount Zion Church invites you to a special Book Signing with Rev. Dr. Ernest Woodson III on Saturday, September 5, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Central Rappahannock Regional Library, 2607 Salem Church Rd., Fredericksburg, VA 22407. Meet the author, hear the inspiration behind his impactful works, and have your copies of The Rise and Fall of Racism, When the Scriptures Come Alive, and Shaped in Iniquity personally signed. This is a unique opportunity for fellowship, reflection, and meaningful conversation centered on faith, truth, and transformation. We look forward to seeing you there!

Press On! Press Forward! Press Toward Christ Jesus

Press On, Press Forward, Press Toward Christ Jesus in His Perfection was the inspiring sermon delivered by Rev. Angelo Giles from Philippians 3:1, 7-14. Drawing from the Apostle Paul's testimony, Rev. Giles reminded us that no earthly achievement or past experience compares to the surpassing value of knowing Jesus Christ. Believers are called to let go of past failures and successes, keep their focus on Christ, and continually press forward toward spiritual growth, maturity, and the high calling God has placed on their lives.

We invite all Mount Zion Church members, friends, and website visitors to experience this powerful message and be encouraged in your walk with Christ. As Paul declared, "forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13-14). Please watch the sermon video and, if you are able, enjoy the full worship service below. We pray this message strengthens your faith and inspires you to keep pressing on, pressing forward, and pressing toward Christ Jesus.

Women’s Fellowship Crafting Day: A Wonderful Time of Creativity and Fellowship

Women’s Fellowship Crafting Day: A Wonderful Time of Creativity, Celebration, and Sisterhood

The Women’s Fellowship enjoyed a truly delightful afternoon together during our recent crafting event. Hosted at Mary’s home, the ladies gathered for a time filled with creativity, laughter, and heartfelt fellowship.

One of the highlights of the day was a hands‑on project where everyone learned how to turn a simple tee‑shirt into a stylish tote bag—no sewing required. With just a pair of scissors and a little imagination, each participant created a beautiful handmade bag to take home.

The afternoon also included a special moment of celebration as the ladies honored Mother Hazel’s birthday. Everyone joined together to sing Happy Birthday and shower her with love, smiles, and warm wishes. It was a touching reminder of the joy that comes from celebrating one another in community.

Please see the photos from the event showing the wonderful memories captured throughout the day.

Events like this remind us of the blessing of fellowship and the joy that comes from spending time together in Christ-centered community. We look forward to many more gatherings that inspire creativity, connection, and spiritual growth.
