Our goal as an Independent Baptist Church is to praise God by preaching His gospel to the believer and unbeliever in order to instruct
each individual on how to become a disciple and serve the Lord by serving others. Matthew 28:19-20.

Old Fashioned Independent Baptist 1611 KJV Preaching
Mt. Zion Baptist Church is a church that uses the 1611 King James Bible by conviction. We cannot see any reason to use another translation in worship or personal study.
Why We Use the King James Bible
One of the most often asked questions of our church is, “What Bible do you use?” We answer unapologetically, “the King James Bible.” More and more individual Christians and unfortunately Bible-believing churches are forsaking the King James Bible in favor of the more modern translations. A desire exists to forsake the King James Bible (KJB) for the more “modern” translations such as the New American Standard Bible (NASB), the New International Version (NIV), or even the New King James Version (NKJV).
