The Mount Newsletter for August 20, 2025

Those interested in joining Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church must attend the Virtual New Members Class. The monthly class is held this evening!


FOR THOSE WHO NEED TO BE BAPTIZED
Please log on (
meetings.dialpad.com/smzbc) or call (804-203-9011) at 5:15 PM. We will have a short discussion about what baptism is and is not to make sure you understand and to give you information about what to expect. You will stay on the call for the New Members session at 5:30 PM. 



FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN BAPTIZED
Please log on (
meetings.dialpad.com/smzbc) or call (804-203-9011) at 5:30 PM. We will have a discussion about our church, our mission, vision, and ministries. The session will last until 6:15 PM to give us time to prepare for Bible Study.

Attending a New Members Session is required before you become an "official" member of Sixth Mount Zion with all the rights and privileges and responsibilities of a Mount Member. After baptism and New Members class, you will be ready to receive the Right Hand of Fellowship.

In an effort to keep everyone safe during worship and ministry activities, our Trustees are asking all members and guests to help us maintain a secure environment. In this current climate, we must all do our part to stay vigilant and protect one another. Please remember the following important guidelines:

Be aware of your surroundings at all times while on church property. If you see something that doesn’t feel right, notify a Trustee or Staff Person immediately.

Do not prop open any exterior doors under any circumstances. All doors should remain closed and locked unless they are being actively monitored.

Arrive on Time for Worship: Arriving on time also helps us maintain a secure environment, as it reduces the need to open the exterior doors multiple times once worship has begun.

Exit the building promptly after worship and other events so that our Trustees can properly secure the church.

Thank you for partnering with us to make Sixth Mount Zion a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

Need a Ride to Worship?

If you need transportation, please contact the church office (804-648-7511) by Friday at 12:00 PM. Let us know that you plan to attend worship every Sunday and you will stay on the list each week. It is your responsibility to let the church office know by Friday if you will NOT need a ride.
