Antioch Baptist Church History Committee

History Committee

  • The Antioch History Committee is a group of volunteers who collect, sort, evaluate and archive all relevant church documents, photographs, bulletins, special events programs, and other items of historical significance to the church.

  • Founded in 1893, Antioch Baptist Church is the second oldest Black church in Cleveland, Ohio–and a church that paved innovative ways in everything from HIV/AIDS to women pastors and deacons.

    Given its rich, trailblazing legacy, the History Committee works to archive and curate the church’s lasting history as well as documenting the history of today so that future generations can continue to know all that Antioch has done (and continues to do).

  • For more information on the Antioch History Committee, please contact Sis. Evans.
