Restoration Ministry

Helping people reconnect to the life that God wants them to have is what this ministry is all about. Many times for those who are incarcerated, they have lost their connection to the outside world and in many instances, they have lost hope. Members of our Restoration Ministry visit jails, juvenile centers and prisons with the sole goal of helping the incarcerated to re-establish themselves, and to offer them a life in Jesus Christ.

The ministry comprised of men and women (and sometimes of youth who show maturity and compassion for helping) share the Plan of Salvation, or offer prayer and encouraging words.

Health & Fitness Center

After a long day at the office or at school, what better way to unwind than by heading to the Antioch Fitness Center? Here, members as well as our friends from the community, can come and work toward reaching their desired fitness goals. We have a huge Multi-Purpose Center with a regulation-sized gymnasium ready to serve basketball, volleyball, and aerobics. The Fitness Center is also equipped with a second-floor walking track, just right for speed walkers or those who want to “take it slow.” Our weekly schedule has activities to fit everyone’s fitness needs. We have trained instructors who are ready to serve you and offer guidance as you seek to get “spiritually fit!”

When you’re healthy, you can feel it inside and out! And what better way to stay healthy than by monitoring your eating habits and exercise habits. Antioch is concerned about the total body and well-being of our members. This area is geared toward helping you achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Studies show that the healthier you are, the more vibrant and outgoing your personality is. And nothing could be worse than a cranky Christian!

The Health and Wellness Ministry will focus on hosting health screenings, blood donations, providing health tips, and giving you information on Walk/Run events to support in the community. This ministry takes it one step further by researching and identifying aliments that plague our society, and how we can overcome these aliments by altering our eating and exercise habits. Ultimately our goal is to highlight all health- awareness months to bring attention and support to those who are battling illnesses in our community.

Senior Saints

Who says seniors can’t have a good time while staying spiritually fit! Our seasoned saints enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle as much as the next person. Whether it’s coming to the Fitness Center for a “stroll around the track,” or it’s heading out for a specially-planned “Senior Outing,” Antioch cares about the well-being of all of our members.

This ministry focuses on the pioneers that have endured the journey of life.

Under the direction of Rev. Dennis Brooks, the Senior Saints of Antioch have events and activities designed to bring enjoyment and pleasure to the lives of our Senior Saints while fostering a sense of self-worth. From field trips to the State Fair of Texas or the occasional surprise lunch given by Dr. Wesley, Antioch’s Senior Saints know that they are loved and appreciated.

To keep our Senior Saints connected, we offer the Senior Saints Wednesdays on second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. This program includes our normal Wednesday bible study, followed by computer classes and other activities on the second Wednesday. The fourth Wednesday adds a hearty lunch and a movie to the mix.

Food Pantry

We also attend to the daily needs of the people in our community that are enduring seasons of hardship with our Antioch Food Pantry. Here, people who qualify will receive food assistance by merely showing identification and proof of residency. The Food Pantry is available on Tuesdays and Wednesday from 10:00 AM-4:00 PM.

Season of Service

No matter where we are in our spiritual lives, we all experience “seasons” where we need some assistance at one time or another. Antioch has a group of dedicated and caring members who are part of the Seasons of Service Ministry. Our goal is to provide outreach assistance to the community (members and non-members). Under the direction of Prince Nwankwonta, the Seasons of Service Ministry handles Antioch’s special outreach events like the Angel Food Basket, Habitat for Humanity, Feast for Friends, the Community Back to School Bash and Health Fair, and the Blessed Tree Project.

Each year, we help more than 1,500 people whether it’s providing school supplies, free health screenings, helping to hammer new homes or donating holiday meals. Our desire is to help you through your “season” and to be a blessing to you when you’re in need.

Our annual ministries, include ...
