Rev. Dr. Kenneth J. Tate, Senior Pastor
Since Rev. Dr. Kenneth J. Tate assumed the pastorate of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in 2002, the church has experienced growth spiritually, numerically and economically. As he reveals the vision of the church (Strength for the Journey Ministries), he states, "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care!"
Pastor, Author, and Spiritual Visionary Dr. Kenneth and his wife Lady Teresa Tate, through the leadership of the Holy Sprint, is empowering the community and the members of the Antioch Church to be disciples of Christ rather than a church member.
"Strength for the Journey comes when we (God's people) gather in obedience to Christ, His Word and His Will, we receive the empowerment through His presence, and boldly implement His command. When this happens; persons are touched, lives are changed, and the kingdom is enlarged.
