$200,000 in Scholarships Awarded to 100 students

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 10, 2024 – On Nov. 10, 2024, Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Nashville hosted its biggest event of the year, College Sunday. Each year, Mt. Zion Baptist Church hosts a special Sunday dedicated to celebrating college students and their achievements. The church was filled from wall to wall with college students from all over the country celebrating their love for Jesus Christ. Bishop Joseph W. Walker, III senior pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, started the College Ministry in the early 90’s. Over the years the ministry has grown to become one of the most well-known and respected ministries in the nation. College Sunday is a direct reflection of the Growing Believers, Producing Achievers vision mantra of the 28,000-member church. During the service, 100 students were awarded $200,000 in scholarships to help support their educational goals and aspirations. Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Nashville officially launched our scholarship program in 2016 with $5,000 in total funding. In 2024 that number has nearly quadrupled in size, providing hundreds of students with financial support. This year we also had a special musical performance from Grammy award winning musician, singer, songwriter and record producer, PJ Morton. Since 2012, he has been the keyboardist for pop band Maroon 5. College Sunday takes place once a year at 7594 Old Hickory Blvd., Whites Creek, TN 37189 during the 11:15 a.m. CST worship service.
