Guest Evangelist: Rev. A. W. Dock, Pastor Berean Baptist Church, Philadelphia, PA Sister Mary Graham, Chairperson Rev. George M. Merritt, Jr., Pastor CHURCH HISTORY The New Zion Baptist Church traces its roots back to 1918 when the Utah Baptist State Convention purchased a lot on Wall Avenue in Ogden, Utah. Purchase price was eleven hundred dollars. The church was built by the congregation and was incorporated on February 19, 1926, under the leadership of Acting Pastor, Rev. James E. Moore. Documentation has not yet been located to identify the first minister who preached to the Wall Avenue congregation; however, the first pastor was the late Rev. L. A. Platt from Ontario, California. He pastored the church from 1930 to 1936. He preachd his sermon at Wall Avenue on October 5, 1930, and rendered faithful service until 1936 when he was called to pastor at the Bethel Baptist Church, Pocatello, Idaho. Earlier servants included Mrs. Georgia A. Holt who came to Ogden from Los Angeles, California in 1929. She reopened the church doors that had been closed for a time, and began a Sunday School with the Bible and one Sunday School quarterly. Then in 1930, Mr. and Mrs. Neal joined Wall Avenue, and it was they who suggested Rev. Platt as Pastor. Succeeding pastors from 1936 to the early 1960's included Rev. J. L. Jones, 1937; Rev. Paxton, 193 7-40; Rev. Jessie L. Conner, 1 942-48; Rev. J. R. Rollerson, 1948-51; and Rev. B. J. Washington, 1952-62. Rev. Washington was extended a call on April 8, 1952. He preached his first sermon as pastor on May 1, 1952. During his ten-year pastorate, God blessed and the church membership grew. They were able, on July 5, 1952, to purchase and furnish a parsonage for the pastor’s use. Cost was $8,000. Within a short time, the church purchas ed another parsonage as well as the lots where the New Zion Baptist Church now stands. These purchases amounted to $9,850. Rev. Washington provided leadership in building the new church. Ground breaking services were held on Sunday, May 16, 1954. The foundat ion was laid in November, 1954, the cornerstone was laid October 31, 1955, and first services in the new church were held on Sunday, March 25, 1956 (Palm Sunday). Cost of the 50,000 brick structure was $90,000. The first $100 was contributed by Brother Obie Blackmore, an usher of the church. The Western States baptist Convention also gave a sizeable donation and bricks were donated by members, friends, business firms, and friends from Wyoming and Colorado. Furnishings were $11,000 and 60,000 hours of donated labor came from Pastor Washington, members, friends, and military personnel stationed at Hill Field, Utah. Members of the congregation secured loans from Ford Finance in Ogden to assist in financing the building. Upon completion, the church itself was debt free. Church members submitted names for the new church and "New Zion" submitted by Sister Jimmie Wilson Bell was chosen most popular by the congregation. The march from Wall Avenue Baptist to New Zion Baptist was led by Mrs. Jessie Carpenter (church pianist). The ribbon was cut by Sister Beverly Graham Reid. First baptism was that of Charlotte Matthews on March 25, 1956. Ellen Barlin Head was the first bride on October 27, 1956. Each year on Palm Sunday New Zion celebrates its church anniversary and on the fourth Sunday in October Loyalty Day Services are held to celebrate the October 26, 1958 dedication service. Rev. Washington resigned as pastor of New Zion in 1962. Succeeding pastors include Rev. Samuel C. Miller, 1963-64 and Rev. L.K. Curry, 1965-68. During Rev. Curry’s pastorate, the church (4) paid off its debts and acquired the property at 2957/2959 Lincoln Avenue. Rev. O. E. Piper served as pastor in 1969 during which time the parsona ge at 709 33rd Street was purchased. Rev. L. W. Watkins pastored in I 970, followed by Rev. S. J. Speech in 1971. On September 14, 1972 the church called Rev. Willie Davis as pastor. During his pastorate the church witnessed a great youth particip ation and church membership increased by large numbers. Also, there was a mortgage burning ceremony to celebrate payoff of the mortgage on the parsonage at 709 33rd Street. Rev. Willie Martin III and Rev. IP. Brantley were licensed to preach the gospel. Rey. Davis pastored until July 1978 when he accepted the pastorat e of Second Baptist Church, Las Vegas, Nevada. In February 1979 the church extended a call to Rev. N Lawrence Liggins of Texarkana, Texas. He accepted the call and moved to Utah in May 1979. During his pastorate the church accomplished much needed remodeling including a central heating and air conditioning system. Also, the property at 2942/44 Lincoln Avenue was acquired with plans to use it for an educational center and senior citizens complex. God blessed and the church grew. New Zion witnesse d its largest baptism ever on November 4, 1979 when 26 persons were baptized. Seven deacons were ordained on Rev. Liggins’ watch, namely, John Carpenter, Jack Hawthorne, Norman Carter, Harry Nunn, Walter McGlothan, Kenneth Wilder, and Ray Finn. Additionally Ministers Ellis Jackson, Calvin Jackson and Jack Hawthorne were licensed to preach the gospel. Rev. Liggins pastored until July 7, 1983. Rev. Tyrone Seals of Las Vegas, Nevada was called as pastor on August 13, 1984. He was instrumental in reactivating the youth choirs and Ministers Reginald B. Clinton and J. C. Barnes were licensed to peach the gospel. He also dedicated the "Theophilus House" just south of the church, to be used as a youth center. Sister Dula Brock, then Director of Christian Education, led the New Zion members to give various items of support including finances to furnish and keep the Theophilus House operational until it was torn down due to cracks in its foundati on. Rev. Seals pastored until June 8, 1985. On April 5, 1987, Rev. I. P. Brantley was called as pastor. He led the church in accomplishing several remodeling projects and proposed a corporat ion through which the church would construct a senior citizens complex. Brothers Gerod Sawyer, Lamont Green, and Elwood Stewart were ordained as deacons and Rev. Sargent Nelson was licensed to preach the gospel. Rev.
