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.
