Building a loving community to love on Sioux City.

About Us

We believe God’s love changes everything. At Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Sioux City, we’re a diverse, Christ-centered family doing life together—worshiping God, caring for one another, and serving our neighbors throughout Siouxland and beyond.

Our 2025 theme, “Fixing What’s Broken to Build Back Better,” captures both the hope of renewal and our vision for the future. It speaks not only to our church family, but also to anyone seeking restoration and purpose.

No matter your story or where you’ve been, you’ll find open arms, real faith, and genuine love here.

Bible Teaching

We enjoy regular Bible study and prayer at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Sioux City.

At Mt. Zion, we believe the Bible is alive and relevant today. Pastor Robert N. Lauderdale Sr. teaches Scripture in a way that’s clear, compelling, and practical—helping people see how God’s story changes our story. Each message points us toward life transformation and deeper faith in Jesus.

Transformed Lives

Whoever you are and wherever you’re starting from—you are welcome here.

We’re a community being transformed by the love of Jesus, growing together in faith, character, and purpose. Following Christ means there’s always a next step, and we’d love to walk with you as you discover yours.

Multicultural Community

We are a diverse, multi-cultural church family at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church.

As a diverse Baptist church in Sioux City, we celebrate our distinct backgrounds and cultures while uniting in one faith. We believe the Kingdom of God reflects every nation and tribe, and we find strength, beauty, and wisdom as we worship and serve together.

Our diversity isn’t just a gift—it’s a glimpse of heaven.

Pastor and Lady Lauderdale are in ministry with Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in downtown Sioux City, Iowa.
