About Us

Our goal is to be a family church. A place where someone can be born, grow up, raise their family, and go home to be with the Lord. Out of that desire we feel the church is called to two missions. First, we want to help people experience God, through his salvation and then through their continued growth and walk with Him. Secondly, we want to help people connect with other believers. Jesus called no one to be a lone wolf, therefor we want Antioch to be a church home. A place where people can find community.
