The Baptist Church of Christ at Mt. Zion - Cass County, Texas

Mt. Zion Baptist Church - 2012

The Mount Zion Baptist Church of Christ was organized July 26, 1851 with twelve charter members. This sanctuary, built-in 1885 on land donated by Isaac and Felix Grundy Lemmon, replaced the original 1851 log church building. Constructed of cypress and featuring a steeply pitched roof and double entry doors, this structure reflects a simple style typical of 19th century rural Texas churches. A historic cemetery dating to 1864 is adjacent to the building. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1991.

A compilation of church records from 1851 - 1984 was compiled by members and published in a 148-page document.  A copy of this document is located below for your use.
