Our Vision
To Be a Modern-Day Antioch Church
[Acts 11:19-26,27-30; 13:1-3]
The Antioch Church, as described in the Bible, is a model of a diverse, mission-oriented, and generous community. It was a central place for early Christian outreach, a symbol of unity among believers of different backgrounds, and a key player in the establishment of the global Christian movement. The leadership of the Antioch Church focused on teaching and worship, fellowship, sharing the Gospel, mentoring (making disciples), leadership development, and church planting. They spread the Gospel and planted churches throughout the First Century world, setting a powerful example for future Christian communities.
