| Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, organized in 1872 (4.5 mi. W), and Fellowship |
| Baptist Church, formed about 1877 in Minerva (2 mi. N), merged in 1895 to |
| form Mount Zion Baptist Church. The Rev. N. J. Dyer served as first pastor. |

| membership expanded, a Women's Missionary Union was formed, and the |
| church joined the Milam County Association. Over the years new facilities have |
| been built, including a new sanctuary in 1982. The church continues to be active |
