138th Church Anniversary

“I CARE”
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you
1 Peter 5:7
|
On Sunday, November 8, 2015, our entire Antioch Church Family will come together on campus for a day long commemorative celebration of our 138th Church Anniversary. Every member is asked to play a significant role in spreading the excitement and in igniting the fire associated with this glorious celebration of our beloved Antioch history. This one celebration and one service will give us the opportunity to recall old times, chronicle important events, remember the personalities who worked zealously to strengthen our fellowship, and the pastors whose leadership and service have made Antioch one of God’s best churches.
The special day of celebration will start with a country styled breakfast at 8:00 a.m. in Fellowship Hall. After the breakfast, every member is encouraged to attend Sunday school at 9:00 a.m. Our special “One Fellowship ~ One Worship Service” will start at 10:00 a.m. in the main Sanctuary. Our guest preacher will be the Reverend Calvin McKinney, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church of North Jersey in Garfield, New Jersey.
After the Anniversary Worship Service, the Church Family will gather in the 590 Building for Church-wide Dinner, Desserts, and Declarations to our rich traditions of charitable Christian Service.
If our “One Fellowship ~ One Service” is to be a success, your commitment and your participation is both needed and necessary. After all is said and done, we are the one who are the one Fellowship!

ABOUT
The Rev. Dr. Calvin McKinney
Calvin McKinney is Pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church of North Jersey, Garfield, New Jersey, where he has served since June, 1972. While administering an ever-expanding ministry, Dr. McKinney enjoys a full preaching ministry that has taken him throughout this country, as well as the continents of Africa, Europe, Asia, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands. In addition to being honored to preach in many of the Famed Pulpits in at least 30 of these 50 United States, one of his most memorable opportunities came during the Centennial Session of his beloved National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc., in Birmingham, Alabama in 1980.
In September, 2009, Dr. McKinney was elected General Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. He served as the youngest Moderator in the history of the North Jersey District Missionary Baptist Association from 1986 to 1990; and served from 1996 through 2000 in an unprecedented tenure as one of the youngest Presidents in the history of the 300,000 member General Baptist Convention of New Jersey, Inc. That exemplary leadership was rewarded by declaring him President Emeritus. In 2015 he was elected to serve on the General Council of the Baptist World Alliance.
In addition to his role as a Pastor and a denominational leader in the Baptist church, Pastor McKinney has served the community in a wide-ranging number of capacities. He presently serves on the Governor’s staff as Chair of the Commission on Faith-Based Initiatives for the State of New Jersey. He serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the U.C.C. Day Care Center #100; former Trustee, Passaic County Community College; a board member of the Bergen County Urban League, NJ; an Executive Board member NAACP New Jersey State Conference and a member of Mt. Zion Lodge #50, F. & A.M. (PHA) of Hackensack, NJ.
Pastor McKinney’s undergraduate work was completed at the William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ, and his graduate studies were completed through the National Theological Seminary and College in Baltimore, Maryland, where he was also honored with a Doctorate of Humane Letters Degree.
In 2003, led by the vision given by God, Pastor McKinney guided the people of God called Calvary in the construction of a $10M state-of-the-art edifice. Because of his visionary leadership, on March 19, 2006 the people of Calvary entered their new home, a 1,500 seat sanctuary, which includes educational, fellowship and administrative complexes; all to the glory of God, the edification of fellow believers and the salvation of humankind.
Under the visionary leadership of Pastor McKinney, Calvary is known for its humanitarian outreach to those in need. In 1998, the Calvary Community Development Center was established to bridge the economic, social and political gap, which exists in our community. The CCDC provides clothing, food and emergency assistance to those in need.
He and his wife Brendalyn are the proud parents of three children: Terence Lamar, Gina Lynelle, and Calvin James; and the proud grandparents of Terence Laquan, Timothy Lamar, Mason James and Myles David.
Pastor McKinney prides himself as a Pastor, Teaching and Growing a Praying People of God. |
