Proud Partner of New Zion Baptist Church
Celebrate your Family's Roots with African Ancestry and New Zion Baptist Church.
Our roots are the foundation of our family tree. They help define who we are. However, most people of African descent know more about the ancestry of others than they do about their own. That's why, New Zion Baptist Church has partnered with African Ancestry to help people of African descent reconnect to their ancestral past.
Using the world's largest collection of DNA sequences and proprietary analytical tools, African Ancestry is the ONLY company that can trace your maternal and/or paternal ancestry back to a specific present-day African country of origin and often to a specific African ethnic group over 500 years ago.*
The African Ancestry Experience can help you redefine your identity, enhance your sense of community and reconnect with Africa. Plus, your results apply to everyone in your family who shares that lineage!
Join the ranks of Oprah Winfrey, Kimberly Elise, Tom Joyner, Isaiah Washington, India.Arie and others today!
