The Mt. Zion Baptist Church was founded in 1888 in Connersville, Indiana. In 1969, the church building was demolished to make way for a new church on the same site. This dedication program for the new building contains a short history of the church, in which all of the former pastors are named.
The publication lists the entire order of service for the dedication of the new church building as well as for a service held a few months earlier, during which time the church's pastor was awarded a Doctor of Divinity degree from the American Divinity School of Chicago. It also includes photographs of a number of the church members at the time of the dedication service, September 7, 1969, as well as many of their names.
Many parishioners are descended from Boone County, Kentucky enslaved families. The descendents migrated across the Ohio River into Indiana at the end of the nineteenth century.
