The Antioch Decoration Ministry supports all other ministries by providing decoration with flowers, artifacts, and other aesthetically pleasing compliments. Our ministry also provides support to wedding coordinators and funeral coordinators. The ministry supports most of Antioch’s main activities/programs, for example: Holiday decorations, banquets, repast, prayer breakfasts, Veteran’s Day, Women’s retreats, fellowships, etc. The primary goal of the Decoration Ministry is to edify the beauty of the church programs by providing decoration support on a continuous basis. The committee must be flexible and ready to provide support to ABC ministries.
