Mount Zion Presbyterian Church (Sandy Springs, South Carolina)

Zion Presbyterian Church is located in Sandy Springs, South Carolina, USA.

It is a part of the PCUSA denomination and is located in the Foothills Presbytery of the Synod of South Atlantic.

In the early 19th century, Sandy Springs residents, mainly Scotch-Irish pioneers, periodically gathered for a camp meeting at a spring located nearby; but for regular weekly worship, they traveled to Anderson's Presbyterian Church.

Zion voted in 1867 to move to a site near the railroad and about one half mile east of the original location.

Later, on August 26, 1876, the building was sold, and the members decided to hold services at the old Grange Hall about three miles southwest of the Sandy Springs crossroads.

Mr. John Adger was instrumental in beginning the movement when he was successful in collecting $250.00, the first money contributed to the building of the present Mt.

President Woodrow Wilson had worked hard for the nation's peace but to no avail.

The women rolled bandages, made hospital garments, and took cookies, cakes, and sandwiches to soldiers who came through Sandy Springs on troop trains.

Times were hard and money scarce so this project was most beneficial to the financial status of the church.

Although the Educational Building had been completed nearly two years previously, it was not until August 4, 1957, that it was officially dedicated during a Homecoming commemorating the 125th anniversary of the founding of the church.

The land was cleared, and a pavilion, playground, and walking track were built and are still enjoyed by the community today.
