“Antioch ministries' purpose is to make disciples of jesus christ and develop youth who are on the path to becoming successful community members. We hope to assist in the removal of educational, economic, and spiritual barriers that will prevent this success from taking place. We do this by empowering young leaders in north minneapolis in a holistic neighborhood environment where a sense of belonging is created, and neighborhood stability is desired. Youth will get mentored by caring adults and participate in activities, and in an environment that fosters trust and the opportunity to move towards leadership.”

“Evening program for children, 1415 oliver ave n -- antioch ministries has a weekly program at this location that provides an environment of trust for children and youth ages 6-16. This environment is created through sharing a meal together, doing bible study, receiving homework help, and developing healthy relationships with peers and mentors. This program meets weekly in this neighborhood environment for 2 hours. The program averaged over 22 kids per night. In addition, volunteer leaders help out for a total of 3 hours each week. What has been gained through this program is the progress of neighborhood stability, trusting relationships with youth and parents in the neighborhood, and an overall sense of community value as all are contributing to the environment just by their presence. One staff member and an average of 12 adult leaders helped to lead the program.”

“After school program, 2811 fremont ave n -- antioch ministries held a weekly evening program very similar to the program at the oliver house. This program hosted kids ages 6-16 every thursday evening. The kids came to do homework, have discussions about life, have dinner, and participate in recreational activities.

In addition, summertime programming at this house took place weekly at the same time, but involved backyard bbq's and activities to engage youth and families in the neighborhood.
