The following coordinate fixes are needed for Union Church, Alabama in Zip Code 36541 (the current location is shown at Dees Crossroads, not Union Church)
30°35′01″N 88°20′40″W / 30.5837°N 88.3445°W

Not done. I don't think I can change the coordinates without further information, as they do match those given in the cited GNIS source (though the USGS topo map does label the place "Dees", and the GNIS gives a location for Dees in Mobile County that's basically identical to the location it gives for Union Church). Clearly, the Union Baptist Church in the area is itself at 30°35′01″N 88°20′39″W / 30.5836°N 88.3441°W, but that doesn't mean that a community called "Union Church" doesn't (or didn't formerly) exist at the coordinates given in the article. (I also note that both Google Maps and Open Street Map label the intersection at 30°33′56″N 88°20′38″W "Union Church", though the latter also has the label "Dees" a bit to the south.) If you still think that the coordinates are erroneous, you can request a correction here again, but you'll need to cite some published source giving a different location, rather than just your "personal knowledge".
