"Ministry", from the Greek word diakoneo, means "to serve"." In the New Testament, ministry is seen as service to God and to other people in His name. Jesus provided the pattern for Christian ministry—He came, not to receive service, but to give it (see Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; John 13:1-17). Antioch Church Ministries strives to follow Christ's path to reach men, women and children through various ministries.
