Mount Zion Baptist Church jobs

Mount Zion Baptist Church was founded in September 1855 as a rural church in a farming community west of Huntsville, AL. Mount Zion has always been a spiritual light and leader in our community. Over the years, Mount Zion has grown from a small country church to a large suburban church, drawing people from a multitude of cultures, professions, and backgrounds. Mount Zion is located in one of the fastest-growing areas of Madison County in North Alabama. Our congregation includes professionals (doctors, lawyers, scientists, et al), military (Redstone Arsenal is located on the southeast edge of our ministry field), and a wide array of engineers (mechanical, electrical, software, etc.). Mount Zion is a theologically conservative Southern Baptist church, holding to the doctrinal beliefs contained in the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.

Mount Zion is located on 12 acres of land with approximately 110,000 square feet of building space. This space includes worship, education, recreation, fellowship, and administrative spaces. In order to accommodate all of the young families in our church, we recently developed a beautiful Family Life Park for children to play on and enjoy throughout the week. Mount Zion Baptist Church has a strong and thriving gospel ministry. Our annual budget has grown to over $4M and our pre-pandemic attendance is approximately 1200 people.

We offer 2 Blended Worship services at 8:30am and 9:45am, and a Contemporary Worship Service at 11:00am. Sunday school classes and childcare are available during these three worship services. Mount Zion has a rich family environment where people of all ages engage in worship and fellowship. Mount Zion has a thriving children’s ministry, education ministry, student ministry, and senior adult ministry. We offer a wide array of opportunities for those who are musically gifted. We have graded choirs for children of all ages, an orchestra, bell choir, and several singing ensembles for adults. Our church loves gathering for meals on Wednesday night in our Gymnasium (Christian Ministries Center), participating in Small Group Bible Study, and engaging in Discipleship Groups.

Mount Zion has a long and rich tradition of gospel ministry in our community and around the world. We call ourselves an Acts 1:8 church because we believe that the Spirit of Christ can empower us to reach our local community and the ends of the earth with the Gospel message. Our vision statement is, Living Sent to Make Disciples. At Mount Zion, we experience true life in Christ as we mobilize for the Great Commission. Corporate discipleship through Discipleship Groups and Sunday School is incredibly important to our church. Missions truly is the heartbeat of our congregation. In addition to designating 10% of our general budget to the Southern Baptist Convention Cooperative Program, we participate in annual offerings for North American and World missions. By the grace of God, in 2020, Mount Zion gave approximately $895,000 toward the Cooperative Program giving, designated missions offerings, and community ministry programs.

Contemporary worship at Mount Zion began as a pilot ministry in 2012 to provide a venue for those interested in fresh expressions of worship. Over time, the service outgrew its space and required a second service. When that was no longer sufficient to accommodate the growing crowd, the two smaller services were coalesced into one service in our main worship center at the 11am hour. We believe that the contemporary service has not yet reached its full potential. We look forward to all that God has for us as we love our community with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
