180th CHURCH Anniversary family & friends celebration

We Are His Family For 180 Years Until Forever!

Scripture: Psalm 90:1-2, Isaiah 54:10b
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
[and the Lord replied:] “but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed.”

In 1842, 42 courageous souls formed Zion Baptist Church to worship God and fight for African-American freedom. God has seen us through multiple wars, pandemics, racial unrest, urban upheavals, and more.  Gather your family and friends and join us as we thank Him for keeping this church family together through it all. Our guest preacher for the 10:30 AM church anniversary worship service is Rev. Vanessa Ward, President of the Omega Community Development Corporation (Omega CDC) and Pastor Emerita of the Omega Baptist Church of Dayton, OH.  See her bio to the right.  

Return that afternoon for a joyous celebration in song at our 4 pm gospel concert (details below).  

We are creating a digital journal to commemorate the event.  If you would like to support the church anniversary and be represented in the journal, please click the “Digital Souvenir Journal” button on the right.  Thank you in advance for your support.

GOD’S RAINBOW ON THE OTHER END OF THE STORM

180TH ANNIVERSARY FAMILY & FRIENDS GOSPEL CONCERT

Minister of Music Eric Oliver reminds us that even in these uncertain times, God provides His rainbow to show that He will see us through. In this joyous concert, Zion’s Mass Choir will thank God in song for bringing us through 180 years of storms.   It’s also a celebration of family and friends, so they’ve welcomed former choir members and community friends to join them.  We invite you to join us for the church anniversary family and friends praise party.  The concert is free & open to the public; donations are welcomed. A reception with light refreshments follows.
