"The Mount Zion congregation was organized in March 1854 under the leadership of the Rev. William King of Buxton, Ontario. That same year their first church building was erected and the congregation was first called the Presbyterian Church of Ridgetown. The frist minister, the Rev. William Forrest, was inducted on 18 February 1857. The second building was erected in May 1879 and in 1880 was dedicated and received its new name, Mount Zion. Originally the congregation took in the whole area including: Thanmesville, Botany and Duart. In 1880 Duart left to become a separate congregation."
