Gospel Festival at Zion Hill
The Gospel Festival, presented in partnership with the African American Heritage Project, was a tremendous success this past Sunday!
With more than 150 people in attendance, the Sanctuary was filled with joy, music, and community.
We are deeply grateful to the African American Heritage Project for hosting the program at Zion Hill and bringing together such talented choirs to perform.
A special thank you goes to Evangelist Alva Taylor, whose gracious leadership and presence helped guide the program beautifully. We are also thankful for Men of Praise and the choirs from Iron Wheel Baptist Church, Zion Hill First Baptist Church, and Austin Heights Baptist Church for sharing their voices, spirit, and passion.
