Dear Friend,

We are writing to inform you Antioch Ministries has reached the end of its season. God has used

the ministry to make an immense impact in the lives of several hundred youth over its 18-year

history. Once having grown to two separate communities (1415 Oliver Ave N) and (2811

Fremont Ave N). At its highest point (2016) serving up to 60 youth simultaneously.

You have been a faithful partner, ally, and supporter of Antioch Ministries. We love you and

value your commitment to the work Antioch has been able execute over the years.

Since COVID Antioch has endured many challenges reaching the community of about 1415

Oliver. Notably, a major shift in the demographics and age of youth of the 1415 Oliver House

Community as well as a sharp decline in interest and funding support.

God has blessed Antioch Ministries to serve North Minneapolis. After much prayer, deliberation,

and mourning we concede “HIS will” to use remaining resources to support other Christian

ministries in North Minneapolis.

In Jesus,

The Antioch Ministries Board of Directors

 

a safe space and place

for kids on the block

to “be” & encounter Jesus.

Be Encouraged.

Be Empowered.

Be Educated.
