What We Are About

Discover what Zion Baptist Church stands for.

Our Vision

We are children of God loved by God who seek to make his love known in the city of Waterbury, state of Connecticut, and throughout the world. The past is a good place to visit, it’s never a good place to stay.

Our Mission

To effectively serve this present-age we know that evolution must occur. Without evolving, we run the risk of not being able to reach the present and future generations.

Our History

The Zion Baptist Church was organized and founded by the late Rev. Clem A. Harvey in November 1921 while pastoring the New Trenton Baptist Church in Emerson, Ohio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I go when I get there?

Our parking team will direct you to the closest available spot. Just follow the smiling faces…we reserve parking spots for our first time guests, so if you’re new to Zion, be sure to turn your flashers on when you enter the parking lot.

As you’re walking to the building, our greeting team will meet you and show you where to find the sanctuary, restrooms, and children’s ministry. If you need anything throughout the day—mints, a Bible, or a pen—feel free to stop by the Guest Services desk. Or, just ask anyone with a ZBC lanyard or name tag. We’re a friendly bunch, and we’d love to serve you.

What do you have formy kids?

In ZBC’s Children’s Ministry, children 5th grade and younger experience Jesus on their level. ZBC Children’s Ministry is a collection of safe, age-appropriate environments where kids have their own service with singing, a Bible lesson, and small group time.

We have programming as well for students 6th – 12th grade. 678 is our Middle School Ministry and they meet for teaching and worship at 9:30 & 11AM. HSM is our High School Ministry and they meet for teaching and worship at 11AM.

We are so passionate about children having fun while they learn about Jesus that we prefer children 5th grade and younger not attend the adult service in the auditorium.
