To overcome historical racial divides and experience the power of God's love to draw all of his people together, we have developed a relationship with Antioch Baptist Church, a predominantly African-American church in inner city Durham. Working with Antioch also enables us to better serve and learn from the people in their neighborhood. Annual events with Antioch and their nonprofit, Antioch Builds Community, include the following:

• Antioch summer camp
  Each summer, Antioch Builds Community offers an educational summer day camp for children in inner city Durham. Many of the children are in a family affected by incarceration. The camp relies heavily on volunteer help.

• Walk-a-thon
  Each October, Antioch Builds Community raises funds through a walk-a-thon. This is a good opportunity for a small group or a family to serve together.

• Christmas day dinner for the community
  On Christmas morning, Antioch serves a meal to those in need in their neighborhood.
