Stepping into New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, you might be surprised by the warmth that radiates from this historic building. You see, New Zion has been a fixture in the community for over 80 years, ever since its humble beginnings in 1938. Founded on a simple mission of introducing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, New Zion has grown to become a true beacon of faith and fellowship in Chicago. But the journey to this point wasn’t always easy. Rev. Napoleon Wordlaw, the church’s Pastor Emeritus, has guided New Zion for decades, steering it through its early years, its growth, and its continued commitment to serving the community. From offering Sunday School and New Member Classes to hosting impactful worship services and community events, New Zion remains a thriving hub for spiritual growth. Today, you see New Zion at 1252 South Wolcott Avenue, a testament to the enduring spirit of faith and community that makes it a cherished part of Chicago’s landscape.
