}}Antioch Missionary Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church at 313 Robin Street in Downtown Houston, Texas. It was historically a part of the Fourth Ward.[2] {{Asof|2012}} it was the only remaining piece of the original Fourth Ward east of Interstate 45.[3]

The Antioch Missionary congregation held their first services at a brush arbor along the Buffalo Bayou.[4] The congregation built its first sanctuary in 1867 at the corner of Bagby and Rusk.[5]

It was built in 1875 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Jack Yates once served as the pastor of this church.[6]

As of 2003 the church has a "Jesus Saves" sign. Rod Davis of the San Antonio Express-News said that the presence of the sign, which "still makes a footnote to the downtown skyscrapers," was "evidence that the oldest African American Baptist church (1875) in the city thrives as well as it did when the Rev. Jack Yates, a former slave, served as its first pastor."[2]

According to the church, the original pews, made by hand, are still used.[7]
