Mission


Our mission is to passionately love God and to give glory to His name through the worship, work and witness of this church; to compassionately love others with the same godly love that was demonstrated to us by our Lord Jesus Christ; and to effectively share the Good News of God’s love with our families, our community and with others throughout the world by the power and aid of the Holy Spirit. This is why we exist!

Values



Our Theme for 2025: “Better” 2 Peter 3:18

At Antioch, we’re committed to growth. Our journey is guided by three integrated frameworks:


OUR Foundation: Surrender

 Understanding that true growth begins with surrender to God. We see this surrender through six key signs:

Consistency: Surrender to God looks like showing up where and how Jesus calls us, prioritizing His leadership.

Completion: Surrender to God looks like trusting His plan and finishing His work without distraction.

Commitment: Surrender to God looks like staying faithful to what we’ve committed to, even when it’s hard.

Contribution: Surrender to God looks like giving freely and cheerfully, trusting Him as our provider.

Connection: Surrender to God looks like submitting to His mission and leadership while loving our neighbors.

Correction: Surrender to God looks like being open to His correction, however He provides it, trusting it as an act of His love.
