Zion Meetinghouse and School (also known as Zion Baptist Church and School) is a historic Baptist church about three miles south of Columbia, Kentucky. The congregation was formed in 1802 and a log meetinghouse was soon constructed. The current meetinghouse was built in 1837 out of locally made brick laid in Flemish bond on a stone foundation. After a fire, the building was reconstructed above the roofline in 1877. About 100 feet west of the meetinghouse, a two-story brick school was built in 1864, with a later frame addition at the entrance. The school was later used by the public school system. [2]
In 1827 the Zion Baptist Church served as the "mother church" or sponsoring congregation for the nearby Columbia Baptist Church. [3] Over time, many members of the rural Zion congregation moved to the daughter church in the town of Columbia. By 1975, the Zion church was "seldom used," with the buildings in "somewhat deteriorating condition but in an unspoiled setting." [2]
The meetinghouse and the school were added together to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

The church began with a petition in 1864 to separate from the segregated white Baptist church, and the congregation was officially organized in 1867. Initially taking residence in the house of Samuel White, the congregation soon grew too large for the house, and in 1875 built a wooden church in the lot next door. In 1884, they finished the current, brick church that still stands today. The church was designed by George Wallace Spooner, who also helped rebuild the Rotunda at the University of Virginia.
