Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas (TX), USA

Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of San Antonio, San Antonio – Origin:
On the seventh of June, 1935, Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of San Antonio, San Antonio was planted on the corners of Hayes and Gevers Streets in San Antonio, Texas.

There were approximately fifty-three (53) persons present in the organization, with hardly a high school diploma among them. Despite this, their experience with Christ had set them apart as a peculiar people, a holy nation, determined to fervently show forth the praise of Him who had brought them out of darkness into the marvelous light. They stood together in calling people to repentance and to faith in a virgin-born, dead, buried, and resurrected Savior.

The late Dr. C.F.C. Curry, former pastor of Mt. Zion First Baptist and Friendship Baptist Churches, presided over the meeting and Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of San Antonio, San Antonio called as its first pastor, the Rev. Rufus Wilson, a strong man of faith, who dared the impossible. His motto was “God is able.” In what appeared to be a step backward, Pastor Wilson moved the little group to a tent on Center Street in the back yard of one of her members, James Parker.

From the tent, they moved the worship to a laundry building on Walters and Crockett until Sister Fredia Keith discovered the present site, an abandoned dairy, with an old house facing Nolan at Walters Street which was renovated for worship.

Then Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of San Antonio, San Antonio took on the character of its historical counterpart, and the Word of God went forth and many people were added unto the Lord. The unusual fervor of the congregation of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of San Antonio, San Antonio drew people from every segment of the community, young and old, learned and unlearned.

In 1947, Pastor Wilson led Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of San Antonio, San Antonio into a building remodeling program at a cost of $65,000. The Lord continued to do great things and lives were transformed, bodies were healed, and many were called into the ministry who went on to pastor major congregations across this great nation.
