Mt. Zion Church was established in 1843. During the Civil War, it was burned to the ground during the Battle of Mount Zion Church on December 28, 1861. The battle was fought between Union forces under the command of Brigadier General Benjamin M. Prentiss and Confederate forces under the command of Colonel Caleb Dorsey. Union forces prevailed and this action, along with others, curtailed rebel recruiting activities in Central Missouri.
The current church, built in the Gothic Revival style, was build in 1906.
