Welcome to
The Church
In Akers, missouri...
… Needs your help.
Does preserving historical buildings speak to you?
Does protecting those precious church buildings speak to you?
Or what about a building that has unique masonry that only still exists in a few places, indigent of our area?
We would love to save this church that is historical, precious, and unique to the Ozarks. If this speaks to you, we would love for you to support our mission.
Here's what you can do:
Our mission can be supported in a variety of ways.

Donate to our project to help us restore the church. This will go towards important renovations that help the church stay standing strong for years to come.
The building is owned by the Park Service. They do routine maintenance on the building, but do not have funds to do major repairs. The roof needs replaced, the foundation has a crack, the electrical system is not up to code, and several other issues need work. We need to raise $100,000 to be able to do these repairs.
Thank you in advance! This project would not be possible without generous donors, and we deeply appreciate anything you can give.

Our Purpose
Friends of Mt. Zion’s purpose is to preserve the structure of the Mount Zion Church’s cobblestone building and the traditions and culture that made it the center of the Akers Community.
We do this by restoring both the physical building and then hosting activities that the building was originally designed for and how it served for several decades. This will include non-denominational church services, old-fashioned pie suppers as well as play parties, weddings, reunions and other community minded events.
