We desire for everyone in our community to hear the Word of God! We can’t wait to CONNECT with your family so that children with disabilities or special needs—and those who care for them—have the opportunity to learn, participate alongside their peers, and experience the love of Christ with the support they need.
At Mount Zion, we're a church family committed to CONNECTING PEOPLE TO GOD’S STORY! Welcome to your new place to CONNECT!! We know visiting a new church for the first time can feel like a lot, especially when you have a child with a disability or special need. Our team is trained, prepared, and genuinely glad you are here.
Every Child, Every Sunday
Here is what Sunday looks like for your family
Connect Program
Our MZ connect buddies program provides one-on-one support for children in our MZKids classrooms. Each child is paired with a trained buddy volunteer who is there to help them engage, participate, and enjoy their time at church in a way that works for them.
Buddy Bags
Available in the Family Suite and throughout our MZKids hallway, On the Go Bags are free to borrow during any service. Each bag is stocked with noise-canceling headphones, doodle boards, and sensory toys to help your child feel at ease.
Family Suite
Located right next to our Worship Center, the Family Suite is a calm, comfortable space where your whole family can worship together. It includes comfortable seating, sensory toys, books, soft lighting, and a live feed of the service.
