History:
On May 24, 2003, the pastor Rev. Dr. Joan L. Wharton and the members of Mt. Zion AME Church of Glen Arm, Maryland in Baltimore County celebrated 150 years of ministry and service to the State of Maryland. This church has dedicated 155 years of service to Kingdom-building. It has worked tirelessly and unashamedly for the city, state and surrounding communities. Mt. Zion has labored and sacrificed a lot to see that a generation of people in the Long Green/Glen Arm community would come to know life at its best. Mt. Zion have sent young children to school and college. We have fed the hungry, clothe the cloth less, and found shelter for the homeless. Mt. Zion has given finances to those in need on a consistent basis. This church is a role model for the entire city and state.
Mr. Freedman, the first slave to be free in Baltimore County is buried in our graveyard.
