One-story wooden frame Greek Revival structure featuring an elevated portico supported by four square columns. There are two doors on the front of the building, but no windows, and a single window on the side visible in the photograph. A plaque on the church reads: "The Mount Zion Presbyterian Church was organized in 1813. $700 was raised in 1814 to complete the building. Services were held here until 1903 when the membership had dwindled from 130 to less than 10. That year the Church property was sold to the trustees of the Mt. Zion Methodist Church for $200. The Methodists worshipped here until 1958. From 1958 until 1969, the church was silent and empty, except for an occasional Wedding or Funeral. In 1969, the North Georgia Methodist Conference gave the property to the Hancock County Foundation for Historic Preservation. The combined efforts of the community and the Foundation have been made to restore this Historic old church and preserve the records." For more information, see Linley, John.
