In 1865, African American members of First Baptist Church in Marietta, Georgia (many of whom had been slaves prior to the Civil War) petitioned the church for dismissal in order to form a black church under their own administration. [4] This dismissal was granted the following year and Zion Baptist Church was officially founded on April 8, 1866, with Reverend Ephraim Rucker as the church's first pastor. [4] [5] The 88 original members of this congregation constructed a wooden church house on land donated by First Baptist. [6] In 1888, this building was converted to a brick church building. [5] [6] This building would serve as the congregation's meeting house until 1978, when a new building was constructed across the street from this structure. [4] As membership continued to grow, another building was constructed by the church in 2007. [7] The 1888 building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 11, 1990. [1] Today, tours are given of the restored building, which occasionally hosts weddings. [6]
