everyday hospitality

Marcela's journey of moving from Mexico to Los Angeles for her son’s leukemia treatment highlights the heart of Antioch’s hospitality ministry. At Antioch, they discovered a family away from home—welcomed with open arms, cared for through friendship, prayer, practical help, and encouraged by the good news of Jesus. God gave them so much more than what they were looking for—through His grace, Marcela and her husband found new life in Christ and a renewed purpose as they decided to trust in Him. 


As God has shown us His love, grace, and provision, we strive to reflect that same care to others. This ministry, started over a decade ago by the Romero family, serves families who have immigrated to the LA and Pasadena area for their children’s medical care. What began with serving dinner, listening, and praying grew into a church-wide mission after the Romeros joined Antioch in 2017. Today, our church continues to walk alongside families like Marcela’s, sharing God’s love in tangible ways and bringing comfort and hope during life’s hardest moments.


You can watch Marcela’s powerful testimony and how God worked in her family’s life in the video below.

AMP LOS ANGELES

AMP was born out of Antioch's desire to serve the community of Highland Park. AMP's founder Josh Buck had a desire to start a program that would support kids in the city. It all began with one kid, Jesse. As Josh began to mentor Jesse he realized that there were many more kids in his situation. In 2014, AMP Los Angeles had its first summer camp where over 50 kids came to have fun and be supported by our mentors.
