Mt. Zion U.A.M.E. Church

About this church

Mt. Zion U.A.M.E. Church is a Union American Methodist Episcopal congregation on New London Road in Newark, Delaware. Sunday worship begins at 10 a.m., and an adult Sunday school class meets beforehand from 9 to 9:45 a.m. The church traces its roots to 1868, when members met in a former blacksmith shop, and it describes itself as part of the movement among free Black Americans begun by Peter Spencer in 1813. The current building opened in 1981 and was enlarged and rededicated in 2003.

The church lists a range of ministries. Class ministry offers fellowship and Bible study, and the women's ministry meets after the service on the second Sunday of the month and also holds luncheons and conferences. Prayer ministry gathers on the first Saturday of the month at 9 a.m. Its listings have also shown a Wednesday evening Bible study, a Thursday evening prayer call, and a midweek food pantry, so confirm current times with the church. The pantry, called 12 Basket Ministry, is stocked by donations and aims to feed families and individuals in need. Other groups include praise dancers, a junior usher board for youth, a trustee board, and a pastor's aide ministry. Visitors who need transportation can call or email about the church van. The mailing address and phone number appear on the contact page.
