Zoar Baptist Church was organized on April 17, 1824 by twelve members from the Hopewell Church in Fayette County at the home of Henry Morris on Peter's Creek. The first wooden frame building, constructed in 1840, was destroyed by Union soldiers in 1861. The building was replaced but it burned in 1879. A new church was erected, but it too was destroyed by fire in 1955. The present building was erected in 1955.
This historical marker was placed in 1975 by the West Virginia Department of Archives and History.
