About Us

A Jesus-Centered Church Fully Committed to God’s Call

Every soul longs for three things: connection with God and others, impact of leaving a meaningful mark on the world and growth in strength and ability. 


We believe that when every soul is in a loving community with others, is spiritually mature and leaves a “soulprint” on the culture, God is pleased, lives are saved, and the world is changed for the better.


At Antioch Baptist Church, we exist to be a church obediently saying yes to the call of God, at all costs. Rooted in Christ, we are a Jesus-centered community where faith, love, and service guide everything we do. 

We Create A Dynamic Spiritual Environment To Meet Core Needs

CONNECTION

CONNECTION

CONNECTION

Here, We Are Family. A tribe. We love deeply and support one another. In a society where many people are superficially “connected” yet profoundly lonely, we are committed to creating real community. 


We cultivate a physical space where everyone is wanted, welcomed, seen, valued, and loved. Antioch is a place where all can find a home.

IMPACT

CONNECTION

CONNECTION

We Are Called to Be Influencers. With Christ as our model and His mission as our mandate, we are fiercely impact-driven—determined to leave a Godly imprint on our homes, our city, and our world. 


At Antioch, we shift culture and build a lasting legacy. We fight for what’s right, serve with purpose, and do good. 


We are divinely empowered makers, creators, influencers, and action-takers, working together to make the earth a little more like heaven until Christ returns.

GROWTH

CONNECTION

GROWTH

We Are Designed to Grow. As humans, we are created by God to grow. At Antioch, we believe that everyone—at any stage of life—has the potential to do more, learn more, and become all that God calls them to be. 


We teach and challenge, nurture and support, dive deep, and tackle the big questions—even when it’s messy—to ensure our spirits thrive, grow strong, and continually rise to new heights.
