Antioch Baptist Church celebrates 145 years as a spiritual haven of refuge During the period of slavery, many of our forefathers worshipped and fellowshipped with the white members in the Baptist Churches. Here in King George County, it is said that both races worshipped at “Little Zion” Baptist Church. After the Civil War and the freeing of slaves, the white members built a new church to be known as “Hanover”, which was located about one mile from Little Zion. The members of Hanover then deeded Little Zion to the Negro members of the church July, 1868. Records show that the deed was made between A. McClanahan, William McDaniel (Trustees of Hanover), Daniel Coakley and Nancy Coakley (Trustees of Little Zion); and property was deeded to Samuel and Joseph Manning, Benjamin Carter, John and George Dunlop and Isaac Wood (Trustees for the New Organization or the new “Little Zion”). At the beginning of this new organization, it is believed that the church took its present name, “Antioch”. Antioch then, was a white weather board edifice sitting on top of a hill, with a steeple pointing the way to God. I n those days, people drove to church in buggies or wagons pulled by a horse, and some even walked. During the summer months, it was so dry and dusty that the men wore white linen dusters to keep the dust off their dark suits. There was no well then and water was brought from a nearby spring to refresh the thirst of the members and horses. Sunday School was held every Sunday; however, there was only one Worship Service per month and that was the Fourth Sunday or Communion Sunday. During this very sacred service, the Communion Table was
THEN covered with a white linen cloth, a silver finger bowl and a white linen towel. The presiding Minister would wash and dry his fingers before breaking the bread. At that time, the bread was baked in a loaf by a Sister of the church especially for Communion Sunday. The Minister broke the loaf in half and everyone took a crumb from that loaf. The fruit of the vine (real grape wine) was served in two goblets and everyone drank from same goblet. Rally Days (later called Homecoming) was an exciting time at Antioch. The Church Clerk would call every member by name. They would go to the offering table and put in what they could. The Clerk would then call every Afro-American Church in the County by name and they would also give an offering as a token of their love and oneness in Christ. During Revival (Protracted Meetings as it was called), dinner was served outside under oak trees. Ministers from within the County and surrounding Counties were called to attend and preach the Gospel. These meetings were held during the day for one week. Antioch has a long heritage of hardworking, praying and dedicated individuals; who believed in the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man. This Church is still one Foundation of Jesus Christ our
NOW Lord even though we are living in an ever changing world. As the world continues to change, we as Christians have to update our thinking and find ways and means to carry on in view of the many trials and tribulations that confront us in our daily lives. Our Pastor, Officials, and Members are still “Pressing toward the Goal for the Prize of the Upward Call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14) by serving the same God with Faith, Hope and Love. Antioch would like to be known and remembered as the “Friendly Church That Sits on the Hill”, with a beacon light for all people. May it serve as a Spiritual Haven for all who seek refuge from the many vicissitudes of life as we enter to worship and leave to serve. submitted by Barbara Finks
