The Antioch Church of Christ stands along the SH 21 in Midway TX at Antioch Road. This historically African American church was awarded a state historic marker as follows:

"ANTIOCH CHURCH OF CHRIST

Believed to be among the oldest independent African American churches in Texas, This congregation was established on the Hayes Plantation and named Antioch after a biblical passage. The church moved from the plantation in 1865 and relocated in Midway, where trustees acquired property. The church building also served as a school until a bungalow schoolhouse was erected in 1915. In 1917 a second Church of Christ was formed in the area. The two congregations merged in 1924 and the school was replaced as a Rosenwald School the next year. New church structures were erected in 1937 and again in 1990. The active congregation continues to serve the community with a variety of outreach and worship programs. (1999)"
