With an extended hand and joyful spirit we welcome you to Antioch Missionary Baptist Church!

We are blessed by your visit to this website, and we believe that God has directed our paths to interact. Our meeting is not an incident but a divine appointment, so we want to express Christ's love to you with genuine warmth. We're delighted to know you, and we're excited to share with you the marvelous ways in which God's hand is at work in our church.


We believe you will discover that our fellowship is truly a family, rich in the relationships that matter most. Growing together, we worship, we serve, we laugh, we cry, we learn and we reach out to our world with life transforming truth. We reach out to you as well.


Our doors are open. Our hearts are open too. If you've been thinking, praying, searching and hoping for a place to belong, we say again-WELCOME
