Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 100 years, a small building has occupied the space we now know as the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Mt. Zion was first known as the Benevolent Society. The Society bought the land for Mt. Zion in 1808. On September 16, 1866, the Benevolent Society was re-organized by the late Rev. C. J. Smith and Rev. W. M. Taylor to the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church. Mt. Zion has stood on the banks of Old River for over 100 years. Mt. Zion has been destroyed by fire on two occasions and rebuilt. The church was used as a school for many African-American residents of upper Pointe Coupee Parish. It housed 1st through 8th grade. School was in session when one of the first fires took place that destroyed the church. The children were safely evacuated and the church was rebuilt. Mt. Zion was also damaged by Hurricane Gustav and repaired. Mt. Zion has had many leaders. Some of the leaders were the Rev C.J. Smith, W.M. Taylor, G. Duncan, D. Gaspander, G.B. Thompson, F. Green, W.L. Washington, Lesley Draper, Jr. and Matt Fountain. Before their deaths, Rev. W.L. Washington served as pastor for forty-four (44) years; Rev. Draper Jr. served as pastor for twenty-three (23) years; Rev. Fountain served as pastor for five (5) years. Our current pastor is Rev. Darren J. Bridgewater who was installed on February 10, 2013. Improvements through the years include: 1977 - remodeling began; 1986 - new pews; 1987 - cornerstone laid; 1988 - rooms added; 1990 - choir stand moved; 1991 - addition of stove and cabinets to the kitchen; 1992 - new windows; 1993 - cement driveway completed; 1998 - installation of central a/c; 2008 - roof repair; 2013 church mission statement established; 2014 church foundation improvement. God continues to bless us and we are thankful for his loving grace. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Acts 20:28

This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1956, Rev. David S. Bradley Sr. wrote what was at the time and remains today the most thorough, scholarly history of the beginnings and growth of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Beginning with the birth of A. M. E. Zion Chapel in a humble chapel in New York City, Part 1 traces the growth of the church into a powerful and agile denomination, expanding from the settled coast into the frontiers of upstate New York and western Pennsylvania. The advancing denomination, with natural and inherited "antagonism to slavery," attracted "freedmen, seeking spiritual freedom," including the famous black Abolitionist activists—Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass, who learned and honed his rhetorical skills as an exhorter in the A. M. E. Zion congregation in New Bedford, Massachusetts, under Reverend Thomas James. "No road was too pioneering no thought too liberal, for these were freedmen, seeking spiritual freedom . . . All along the Mason Dixon Line, and further West, in Ohio and Indiana, Zion Churchmen became beacon points of hope to the escaped slave and A. M. E. Zion became the church of freedom."

This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second volume, David H. Bradley picks up the story of the African Methodist Episcopal Church Zion in 1873. From there he follows A. M. E. Zion’s growth through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights Movement, showing the denomination’s special capacity for empowering lay people to be crucial to African American organization in the Civil Rights Movement. Throughout, Bradley explores the dynamics of organizational institutionalization in the midst of new growth and transformation through the Great Migration and the flowering of A. M. E. Zion churches in new African American communities on the West Coast.
