Our Church Mission is based on the Great Commission taken from Matthew 28:19-20. The Mission of the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church is to:
Goand meet the sinner on his ground, wherever that might be on behalf of the Master;
Baptizethose who confess with their mouths and believe in their hearts that Jesus is Lord and that His death and resurrection provide atonement for all who believe;
Teach people the glorious message that Jesus came to offer and how to apply His teachings to their lives.
We believe these components are essential in accomplishing the will of the Father, which is to MAKE DISCIPLES

Food for thought
Emotions greatly influence how we live our lives.
They are a gift from God, provided so we can
enjoy life and relate to others. How we express
them determines whether they are beneficial
or detrimental. Either we control them, or they
control us. Our emotions are good if they are
kept in proportion, but when we allow them to
control us, we are more likely to harm others
and ourselves.
Anxiety is the most prominent emotion that
people are experiencing today. It’s important
to realize that feeling anxious is not a sin, but
the Lord doesn’t want us to live in a continual
state of dread because of life’s uncertainties. All
people encounter situations that cause them
to be nervous; sometimes it’s unavoidable. For
example, if you heard that your child had been
in a car accident, your heart would immediately
be filled with worry. That’s a completely natural
feeling. However, it’s important to understand
what we should do with anxiety and how long
we let it control us
