The Baptist Church has long been a place of refuge for African Americans and Houston is no exception. In fact, it’s home to one of the oldest Baptist churches in Texas, Antioch Missionary Baptist Church.

But we are highlighting a few in various parts of town. Drop over to our social media page and shout out your church.
