The church was built by its members — many of whom likely were former slaves — in 1893, and served as the central meeting place for the black community, according to Cunningham and the foundation’s website. West Virginia state Sen. John Unger, D-Berkeley/Jefferson, who is known as the “vicar of Harpers Ferry” — serving as pastor at two Harpers Ferry churches and one in Bolivar — said the First Zion congregation held its last major event, an interfaith revival, in 2009, along with St. John Lutheran Church, a predominantly white church that Unger recently had joined as pastor.
