Antioch Baptist Church

Journeying Upon God's Foundation

Welcome Message

Welcome to Antioch Baptist Church!

We are delighted that you have taken a moment to visit us online, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you in person.

At Antioch, we believe that church is more than a building we enter on Sunday morning. It is a family where faith is strengthened, hope is renewed, lives are transformed, and God’s love is experienced.

We are ordinary people serving an extraordinary God. We don’t claim to have it all together, nor do we pretend to have all the answers. Like you, we are navigating life’s joys and challenges, learning to trust God through every season, and striving each day to become more like Jesus Christ. We are growing in faith, learning to walk in grace, and discovering what it means to live with purpose.

Whether you have been walking with Christ for years, are beginning your journey of faith, or are simply searching for a place to belong, there is a place for you at Antioch.

At Antioch, we’re not perfect people. We’re people being perfected by the grace of God. And there’s room for you to grow with us.

We look forward to meeting you, worshipping with you, and growing together in Christ!

Welcome home. Welcome to Antioch Baptist Church!

Yours in Christ,

Reverend Bill DeWayne Williams, M.Div. Interim Pastor
