| History of the Currituck Charge | |
| Many relatives/descendants of early Mt.
Zion UMC families helped to start other area churches by serving on
their respective Board of Trustees including: Wesley (1834); Ebenezer
(1841); Asbury (1846); Perkins (1850); Hebron (1854); Baxter's Grove
(1860); and Sharon (1905).
From archived records at Duke University of individual churches beginning in 1926, Mt. Zion has been a part of the Currituck Charge. That year the sister churches included Mt. Zion, Asbury, Ebenezer, and Hebron. In 1932 the Currituck Charge included Mt. Zion, Kitty Hawk-Boaz, Colington, Ebenezer, Grace, Hebron, and Sharon. In 1939, the charge included Mt. Zion, Ebenezer, Hebron, and Sharon. Ebenezer UMC later burned down and many from that congregation began attending Sharon. In 1956, the Currituck Charge included Mt. Zion, Hebron, and Sharon. Sharon UMC later went station. Today, Mt. Zion UMC and Hebron UMC remain in the Currituck United Methodist Charge.
