The history of Mount Zion Baptist Church is the recital of the efforts of a people, once in bondage, to build and maintain for themselves a suitable house of worship in Staunton. Prior to having their own place to worship, the colored Baptist in Staunton worshipped at the city’s white Baptist Church.
