The Zion Hill church was founded in 1920 by a group of Baptist believers. In 1996, Dr. Joshua Joy Dara, Sr became their new Pastor. Since then, the church has experienced tremendous growth and now enjoys a place of prominence in Central Louisiana, USA. The church has a membership of more than 3000 people with more than 50 ministers of the gospel, 17 deacons, 13 deaconesses, and a record number of volunteers. Today, Zion Hill is more than just a denomination church. The church is spirit filled and most of its members are saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost.
