Meet the Wards
Wards at Mount Zion Baptist Church were originally established to foster deeper connections among members residing in the same geographical areas of Griffin. Over time, these Wards have evolved into diverse fellowship groups that transcend location or life stage, uniting members across the church body. Upon joining the Mount Zion family, individuals are assigned at random to a Ward-as a way to encourage meaningful fellowship, plan engaging church-wide activities, and support the spiritual growth and integration of new members into the life of the congregation.
