New Zion Church


New Zion Church is a traditionally African American church located in the 
Post Oak community south of Fairfield.  New Zion Church is located about a 
mile south of the center of the Post Oak community.  New Zion Church has a 
cemetery adjacent to the church building.  The area is drained by Big Creek on 
the east and Keechi Creek on the south.

New Zion Baptist Church was started by Rev. C.C. Collins from Brown Creek and 
Rev. Robert Smith from Sims Burrough in September 1907.  Called New Zion 
because it was composed of members from Mt. Zion and New Hope Baptist Church.  
Rev. E. A. Anderson was the first pastor of the church.  However, African 
Americans were in the area earlier because the black school at Post Oak had 
thirty-two students in 1893.
