What to Expect

COME AS YOU ARE

Walking into a new church can be intimidating and at times terrifying depending on your previous church experience. If you are considering attending one of our worship gatherings, we pray that you would take the vulnerable step and come check it out! We can't fully describe what you will experience, but at least we can try to give you an idea of what to expect.

WE WELCOME EVERYONE

When you walk through our doors you will see all types of people. You may see people in suits and ties, you may see people in jeans and shirts. It does not matter what you wear to church, as long as you come. We just want you to know that as soon as you walk through those doors you are welcomed and loved for who you are. If you have any questions about our services, we want to hear from you. Feel free to connect with me or our staff for anything that you might need. We look forward to meeting with you. 

WE ARE HERE TO SERVE YOU

We strive to make sure every time you come to Antioch that you are astonished by the love and support from everyone here. For your convenience we offer Sunday School for children & adults at 10:00am. Above all, we strive do our very best to make you feel at home.  

JESUS
We believe that man was created by and for God; that by man's disobeying God, every person incurred spiritual death, which is separation from God, and physical death as a consequence; and that all people are sinners by nature and practice. Also in the deity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutionary death on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal and of equal dignity and power. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers and thus enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the believer.

SALVATION
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous because of His sacrificial death and are, therefore, in the right relationship with God.  We believe in the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, the everlasting blessedness of those in right relationship with God, and the everlasting punishment of those who have rejected God's forgiveness in His Son.

BAPTISM, COMMUNION
We believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are to be observed until the time of Christ’s return. They are not a means of salvation. Baptism in water is by immersion and a direct commandment of our Lord for believers only. Water baptism is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in death, burial and resurrection. Matthew 26:26-29; 28:19; Acts 8:36-39; Romans 6:3-11; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34; Col 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21
