About us
Sharing the Gospel, one verse at a time
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
Ephesians 2:8-10
Antioch Baptist is a Christ-centered church that exists to glorify God in worship, both corporately and personally, and to equip believers for daily living and sharing the Gospel. We worship God together through the preaching, teaching, reading Scripture, prayer, singing hymns and songs and faithfully serving Christ in unity. We believe the Bible is the infallible, inerrant, inspired word of God. It is our sole biblical authority. It is sufficient for every matter pertaining to life and godliness. We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We faithfully observe the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper as set forth in Scripture.
We are a Southern Baptist church and support the Baptist Faith and Message.
What to Expect
Our church has a variety of ages that are ready to welcome you with love and open arms. Our worship service generally lasts about an hour. The praise and prayer time lasts 20-25 minutes and preaching of the Bible lasts 30-40 minutes. Dress is business casual, but you will see some ties, some slacks and some blue jeans.

PREACHING
Brother Phillip rarely preaches topical sermons. He goes verse by verse through the Scriptures to teach its meaning and application. Preaching this way deepens the believer's understanding of God's Word and provides opportunity to grow in the true knowledge of Scripture.
What a joy and privilege it is to be a part of God's family and grow in His grace and knowledge together as believers. God's Word daily transforms my life and I pray that He does the same for you as we ask Him to make us holy. If you are looking for the perfect church, you will not find it. We, at Antioch, are far from perfect. We are simply sinners who needed a Savior and repented and put our faith in Christ. It is my hope and prayer, if you have never taken that step of faith, today will be the day. If you are looking for a church family where believers are eager to be students of the Word and love Jesus and each other deeply, I hope you have found a place to belong. Hope to see you soon, Lord willing!
Gratefully yours, Gracefully His!
Phillip Rush
