Brief History of Zion Baptist Church Zion Baptist Church was founded by members who obtained their letters from the First White/Baptist Church of thisT'cfty in 1866, exactly one - year after Sherman's victorious army had marched through, and Columliin was left in ashes. The congregations of Zion and First Calvary Baptist Churches were once one and the same people. They all obtained their letters from the white church at the same time. But before a name could be given or an of Columbia was to preach, but being late Rev. Logan 'filled his place. He selected for a text: I Sam*30:24. The sermon was - forceful and while he preached, we were made to rejoice. ReV. -Wall&f arrived just before the-service ended and made announcements for the meeting of the week.
