Founded in 1935, Antioch is a cornerstone to San Antonio's east side neighborhood. Over 3,000 members strong, Antioch blends spiritual services with programs that draw on the rich cultural heritage of African Americans. As a community minded church, Antioch is actively involved in numerous programs to enrich the lives of its members and neighbors.

Antioch's pastor since 1993, Rev. Dr. E. Thurman Walker received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Accounting from Colorado College, a Master of Divinity from the ITC / Morehouse School of Religion, and a Doctor of Ministry from United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.

Under his leadership, Antioch has flourished, growing to its current size and tripling her budget. Antioch continues to expand her ministries and service to the community.

In 1995 Dr. Walker founded Antioch Christian Academy, a private school serving students from age 2 years through sixth grade.
