🎉 NEXTGEN MINISTRIES ANNOUNCEMENT 🎉 We are excited to officially welcome Reggie Thornton-Mack III as a new member of NextGen Ministries and to announce his role as Media Lead at Uttingertown Missionary Baptist Church. Reggie has already demonstrated a strong willingness to learn, serve, and grow in excellence.
Through hands-on training and commitment, he has begun developing skills in livestream production, media coordination, and digital ministry—helping ensure that worship, teaching, and outreach extend beyond the sanctuary walls.
This appointment reflects our belief in raising up leaders, mentoring the next generation, and equipping servants for ministry in practical and meaningful ways.
Please join us in celebrating Reggie Mack and covering him in prayer as he steps into this leadership role. We’re excited about what God is doing—and what’s coming next. 🙏 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” — Colossians 3:23 (NIV)
NextGen Community Youth Initiative (NCYI)
Important Update—NextGen Moving Forward As the work of NextGen Ministries AMBC continues to grow, we are clarifying how the ministry and community outreach operate moving forward.
At the same time, NextGen Ministries will operate as a community-based youth initiative, partnering with churches—including Antioch and Utteringtown—as well as community organizations to provide mentorship, leadership development, and safe spaces for youth. This is not a separation of mission or values. It is a clarification that allows the work to grow with integrity, expand partnerships, and better serve both the church and the community. We are grateful for the continued support of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, Utteringtown Missionary Baptist Church, and our community partners as we move forward together. — Rev. Dr. Antonio Taste, Founder & Director, NextGenAMBC Ministries & NextGen Community Youth Initiative (NCYI)

Reverend Doctor Antonio Anshawn Taste
I’m humbled and overjoyed to share that I have officially completed my Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Christian Leadership and Education from Liberty University.
My Dissertation-in-Praxis, titled “The Impact of NextGen Ministries on Long-Term Engagement: Recruiting and Retaining Young Adults in the Church,” has been successfully defended and approved.
To my wife, Alicia; my family; my church families at Antioch & Utteringtown Missionary Baptist Churches; the Consolidated Baptist District Association; and my incredible NextGen team and supporters—thank you. Your prayers, encouragement, and belief in this vision carried me through every late night and every challenge.
💙 Thank you all for walking this journey with me. We’ve only just begun—the next chapter of NextGen Ministries starts now.
