Pilgrim's Progress

   The ancient Church of Antioch was founded by Saint Peter the Apostle in A.D. 34. It is one of the five great churches of early Christianity, along with Jerusalem, Rome, Constantinople, and Alexandria.

   It was at Antioch that followers of Jesus were first called Christians, (Acts 11:26) and today we maintain the teachings and traditions of the eternal Gospel of Jesus Christ as received by the Apostles. Today Jesus says, "Come unto me all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Today is the day of repentance, healing, and salvation.
