ACTN History
Antioch Community Transformation Network (ACTN) was established by Antioch Missionary Baptist Church as a 501(c)(3) non-profit community development corporation in April, 2000. ACTN's purpose is to address the economic, social and recreational needs of San Antonio's east side residents, the majority of whom are low income minorities.

ACTN’s service area is City Council District 2 on San Antonio’s Eastside.  ACTN will focus especially on the geographic area bounded by I-35 on the north, East Commerce Street on the south, New Braunfels Street on the west, and Onslow Drive on the east.  This primary service area of the east side lags significantly behind the rest of San Antonio in economic and educational indicators despite the city’s growth during the 1990’s.

To address these disparities, ACTN is the developer of the $7 million capital campaign to construct the Family Life Education and Community Center Campus.  The 22,645 square foot Antioch Sports Complex and Community Center opened to the community on May 2, 2005. It offers numerous health, recreation and social amenities, and is the permanent practice home of the WNBA San Antonio Silver Stars.  

1)  Removing educational barriers for residents of San Antonio’s east side

4)  Promoting economic development on the east side that will result in jobs, housing and private investment
5)  Providing positive social activities for individuals and families
