Visit Antioch
Located amidst the skyscrapers of Houston, Antioch Missionary Baptist Church continues to serve the needs of her people and community, proudly proclaiming the message: Jesus Saves.

Our History
Praise and Worship through Ministry Since 1866
In 1866, members of Antioch worshiped under a “bush arbor” erected on the edge of Buffalo Bayou, and as membership grew, a box-house type structure was constructed at “Baptist Hill” (on the corner of Rusk and Bagby) for church ministry and service.

And, on the first Sunday in August 1879, the congregation marched from “Old Baptist Hill” to the new brick church on Robin Street, the first brick structure in Houston to be built and owned by African-Americans located in the center of Freedman’s Town…
