General Info

The Antioch Baptist Church of San Jose, California, is the oldest African American Baptist Church in San Jose. In 1996, Antioch was added to the Historical Landmark inventory for the City of San Jose by a unanimous vote of the City Council. The mission of Antioch Baptist Church is to carry out the Great Commission as well as the Great Commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ by learning and growing together as disciples, by living together in the light of Christian fellowship, and by laboring together in a ministry of love: sharing with the lost and caring for the least, as ambassadors of the liberating Gospel of peace.
