The more than abled Pastor Lincoln Darrel Connor and his congregation led a POWERFUL prayer walk throughout The Trinity Community this evening, Sunday, 19th October, 2014.

As the church has always been doing since its inception on Tuesday, 5th March, 1963, it has continued to obey Jesus' great commission found in  Mark 16:15 which admonishes believers to EVANGELIZE. "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."

Led by a hi-fi system blasting music from one of the Caribbean's most popular gospel bands, The Majestic Gospel Band led by Brother Damion Jacobs, the large gathering stopped periodically to offer words of prayer for the community and break down satan's strong holds.

According to the church's website, www.antiochbaptistskn.org, the ministry has a strong history. Under the OUR STORY SECTION, it reads, "In the providence of God, the Antioch Baptist Church was organized as the first established Baptist Church in St. Kitts-Nevis on Tuesday, 5 March, 1963 by Rev. William Connor O.B.E and 21 born-again believers.  The first meeting place was the Unity Friendly Society Hall on Wigley Avenue, Haynes Smith Village, Basseterre.

Two months after the Church was organized, on 19 May 1963, the first pastor, Rev. William M Connor was ordained at the Calvary Baptist Church, St Thomas, USVI. In 1964, the Antioch Baptist Church started a mission in Lodge Village about 6 miles from Basseterre. In 1976 the mission was organized into a new church—Mount Carmel Baptist.

Antioch organized another mission station in the village of St Pauls in 1965 which was eventually organised into the Calvary Baptist Church—now Calvary Baptist Tabernacle.  Antioch administered the Calvary Baptist Church, for fifteen years from 1965 to 1980 when the church was handed over to Pastor Calvin O Hazel at the beginning of 1981."


The Antioch Baptist Church built its current place of worship in 1966.  In 1986, the church acquired property adjacent to the existing facility at the time and constructed a Family Life Centre which serves as an extension to the sanctuary.

The Antioch Baptist Church is currently in the process of building a new holistic ministry centre at Limekiln Commercial Park in St. Kitts.
