WE EXIst to help
Beyond the park – Antioch was created to help. Need anything?
Founders
Ryan and Lindi Davidson are the directors of all things Antioch. Married with 4 sons they have lived in Warman for the past 8 years. Their lives are filled with listening, skateboarding, bball, preaching, teaching, churching and music. They are lovers of espresso, The Bible and a new pair of sneakers.
After 14 years of supporting people with disabilities, Ryan felt called to pursue his dream of opening a community centre/ Skatepark in Warman. In the fall of 2019 he was Hired by Youth Unlimited to spearhead this project.
Lindi has spent the past several years home schooling her boys, perfecting thai curry soup & has trained through the Studion school of spiritual direction. She is a gifted speaker, retreat facilitator, and spiritual director.
Partnerships
The Evangelical Mennonite Missions Conference has been pivotal in making the Antioch Community Centre a reality.
They own the building and property of 418 Central ST W as well as provide oversight for the Community Centre and all future endeavours (Indoor Skatepark, etc.)
“The EMMC exists to EQUIP and ENCOURAGE our churches for effective ministry, EMPOWERING them to participate in God’s work in the world. Our international, regional and local ministries will focus on: INSPIRING and FACILITATING local outreach and global missions. EQUIPPING and RESOURCING local church ministries. DEVELOPING and SUPPORTING pastors and leaders in our congregation.”
Youth Unlimited / YFC Saskatoon is a registered non-profit “para-church” organization.
From an inner-city floor hockey league to equine therapy – Youth unlimited strives to bring hope to the youth of the Saskatoon area.
Antioch Skate is happy to work alongside Youth Unlimited Saskatoon.
Together Skatelife and Antioch host “Skate church” every Wednesday evening during the winter. The Lakeview church in Saskatoon generously allows us to use their gym to make this happen. Currently this is the only public indoor space for Skateboarding in the Saskatoon area.
“Skatelife is part of Young Life of Canada, a non-profit organization committed to reaching young people across Canada. We are a faith-based organization telling the story of Jesus in a fun and relevant way. We do this by sharing fun and relevant stories about Jesus, and by sharing our lives with our young friends through healthy, intentional relationships.”
