College Sunday 2024

The college ministry at Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Nashville represents the heart and soul of the historic church. Started in the early 1990’s, Mt. Zion’s College Ministry has grown to become one of the most recognizable ministries in the Nashville area.

The Mt. Zion College Ministry seeks to provide a positive environment where students will not only excel academically but also spiritually. We are committed to working, worshiping and witnessing.

Each year, Mt. Zion Baptist Church hosts a special Sunday dedicated to celebrating our college students and their achievements. This is a day to rep your school, fellowship, and worship collectively. 

This year “OCCUPY the YARD” is our rallying call for students attending colleges and universities around Nashville to deploy their unique gifts and callings as ambassadors of Jesus to their campuses, student organizations, sororities, and fraternities. This initiative, grounded in the biblical charge from Luke 19:13 to ‘OCCUPY until I come,’ encourages us to permeate every aspect of our lives with the presence of Jesus, extending beyond just our spiritual walk.
