One Church. Two Locations.
The Church that demonstrates the love of God by loving you to life.
In being led by the Lord in searching for a place of worship, Pastor Sawyer was led back to his roots in the small rural-like township of Camden, North Carolina. There he found a small building on Highway 343 which he remodeled and made preparation to establish the church he would pastor. God revealed the name “Mt. Zion” to Pastor Sawyer, thus making it the first Church of God In Christ church established in Camden. On March 31, 1999, Elder Sawyer was installed by the Presiding Bishop of Greater North Carolina, Bishop LeRoy Jackson Woolard. The church serves in the Windsor District under the leadership of Superintendent Clarence Freeman.
In October 2004, just five years after starting the church, Pastor Sawyer and the members moved into their new, over 1100 square feet, edifice. The congregational membership has grown from its foundation days of 25 members to over 300 members present-day. The church also operates a Food Pantry bi-weekly. The church is about to embark on another building project, a Family Life Center, to serve the community and the surrounding counties.
Sixteen years later, on April 21, 2015, the doors of New Mt. Zion Church of God in Christ in Hertford, North Carolina opened; one church in two locations.
