Honoring Black History Month at Mount Zion Baptist Church
Each February, Mount Zion Baptist Church joins communities across the nation in celebrating Black History Month—a sacred time to honor the faith, resilience, and brilliance of African Americans whose stories continue to shape our world. For our church family, this month is more than a historical observance. It is a spiritual reminder of God’s faithfulness through generations and a call to continue the work of justice, unity, and love.
Black History Month invites us to reflect on the leaders, trailblazers, and everyday heroes who pressed forward with courage—often guided by deep, unwavering faith. From the prophetic voices of the Civil Rights Movement to the quiet strength of families who held communities together, their legacy lives on in the ministries, worship, and service we carry out today.
At Mount Zion, we celebrate this month with gratitude for those who paved the way and with commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders. We honor the educators, artists, preachers, activists, and innovators whose contributions continue to inspire hope. We also recognize the powerful role the Black Church has played as a place of refuge, empowerment, and spiritual grounding throughout history.
As we move through February, may we take time to learn, reflect, and give thanks. May we celebrate our heritage with joy, remember our ancestors with reverence, and continue to walk boldly in the light of God’s purpose. Black History Month is a reminder that our story is rich, our faith is strong, and our future is filled with promise.
If winter weather makes travel unsafe, church services may be postponed or delayed. Updates on facility and service status will be provided by the Pastor to the church clerk and shared as soon as possible.
