LIFE Groups are a great way to meet new people at Antioch and draw closer to God with a small group of believers who love Jesus and want to grow in their faith. We have groups that meet based on age, gender, and time. Check us out! 

Join us for our seasonal Sunday night discipleship training at ABC! We go deeper on subjects that will help you grow as a believer and be equipped to live out your faith in every day life. 

We believe in Radical Generosity at Antioch. We want every member to be contributing to the work that God is doing. We contribute through giving our time, talent, and also our treasure. Faithfulness in giving is a crucial part of our spiritual growth. 

How important are Spiritual Gifts? How can I tell the difference between a Spiritual Gift and a
"talent?" Does every Believer have a Spiritual Gift? How can I discover and use my Spiritual
Gift? We can help you answer these (and many other) questions through a Bible Study we are
offering/Manual we have available)! Interested? Contact Pastor Rick!
