As a vital community institution, Greater Mount Zion A.M.E. has been at the forefront of numerous initiatives, including the first nursery for colored children in Trenton and the establishment of a credit union. The church has also hosted prominent figures in the civil rights movement, further solidifying its legacy as a cornerstone of African American history and community empowerment in the region.
