Renewing Baltimore

BALTIMORE ANTIOCH LEADERSHIP MOVEMENT

Imagine ordinary people helping their neighbors follow Jesus. Churches renewed with a passion for their communities. Leaders equipped and sent into new places. New communities of faith multiplying to bring the hope and healing of Jesus across the city.

This is the vision behind the Baltimore Antioch Leadership Movement. We connect, equip, and encourage people and churches to participate in a movement much bigger than any single organization.

Imagine a Disciple-Making Movement for Every Baltimore Neighborhood.

When disciples make disciples and leaders develop leaders, the impact reaches far beyond any single program or church.
