The history of Mt. Zion is filled with many names, faces and dates. Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church is the first black church in Orlando. In April 1880, the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church was organized by Rev. C.J. Scott, who came to Orlando from Monticello, Florida. Thirteen pastors and five different structures later, the current church, constructed of red brick is a classical Revival church which broke ground in 1956.
