Who We Are:
St. Ignatius is a community of loving, hard-working, brave people. We love worship, rooted in liturgy and history. We challenge each other to enact the kingdom of God in Jesus Christ. We show our love of Jesus Christ through our involvement with the community through multiple outreach opportunities. God's Will Resale Shop and Antioch Community Counseling Services are two of our onsite ministries. We also pair with a large number of regional charitable organizations. We educate each other in Christian Formation (Sunday School) for all ages and through book studies and lectures. We wrestle with current issues of justice, such a systemic racism, through hosting trainings and discussion groups. We truly enjoy each other's company, celebrate each other in victory, and support each other in times of challenge. Come join us to walk in love as Christ taught us.

UPDATES FROM THE GENERAL CONVENTION!
Our History:
The church was founded in 1915 and has actively served the Antioch community and the surrounding areas both spiritually and as a participant in civic events and celebrations. The church is named in honor of St. Ignatius of Antioch in Asia Minor who was martyred in Rome. The church name was deemed appropriate because the saint was from Antioch where the term "Christians" was first used.
The original building on Main Street in Antioch was sold to the Antioch Historical Society, who refurbished it to its original state and is now a historic site.
After completion of the new church on East Depot Street in 2001 the first Eucharist was celebrated on Christmas Eve of that year.
