Mount Zion Church

The community around Mount Zion Church

It takes 4.5 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them, and nearly half of adults live with obesity, and nearly half of the children here are growing up below the poverty line. A scattered parish is still a parish.

Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
