Title
To Celebrate the 1st Church Anniversary of Antioch Jordan Baptist Church
Body
WHEREAS, in the spirit of unity, faith, and divine purpose, Antioch Jordan Baptist Church was born-a sacred union between two historic houses of faith, Antioch Baptist Church and Jordan Bible Church. Rooted in the rich spiritual legacy of Central Ohio, these two congregations came together, not by chance, but by divine design, forging a new chapter in the story of God’s people; and
WHEREAS, under the visionary leadership of Rev. Charles E. Newman, the organizing pastor, Antioch Jordan Baptist Church held its inaugural worship service on March 2, 2025, and on that day, voices were lifted, hearts were stirred, and a fresh wind of the Holy Spirit moved among the people, affirming that we are indeed better together; and
WHEREAS, over a year later through their new name and foundation built, Antioch Jordan Baptist Church is more than a building; it is a movement of faith. A family united in Christ. A beacon of hope in Central Ohio. With God as their guide, they move forward, hand in hand, heart to heart, committed to the mission He has placed before them; and
WHEREAS, they stand upon the prayers, sacrifices, and unwavering faith of those who came before them. From the classrooms where the word was taught, to the pulpits where the gospel was preached, to the outreach efforts that touched countless lives-their legacy is one of service, love, and commitment to the Kingdom of God; and
WHEREAS, through the vision of having a diverse ministry of people establishing an eternal relationship with God, through the mission to create a community of believers that are equipped to disciple, fellowship, and freely worship through ministry and Antioch Jordan has built pillars of engagement with God, People and Culture; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS: That this Council does hereby celebrate the 1st Church Anniversary of Antioch Jordan Baptist Church and to many more as God’s covenant.
