What We Believe
Antioch Baptist Church affiliates with the American Baptist Churches USA, a body with 1.3 million members and more than 5,200 congregations. As American Baptists, Antioch firmly believes:
- Jesus Christ is Our Redeemer and our Lord.Through belief in Him, we are assured of eternal fellowship with a loving God.
- The foundation of Christian belief is the drama of the first Easter week. The greatest event in history was the death of Christ, in which he took upon Himself all the sins of the world and his Resurrection, which offers glorious proof of his triumph over sin and death.
- Holy Scripture is the most authoritative guide to knowing and serving the triune God: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. As the divinely inspired word of God, the Bible reveals our faith in its mandated practices

You’re So Blessed to Be Able To Give
So many think of tithing as an obligation. In fact, it’s an opportunity to share your abundance and demonstrate your faith. Of course your money offsets the practical needs of the church, such as utilities and salaries. But those dollars flow into the community through our outreach ministries.
Enlist in Our 100% Tithing Army
It’s easy to join, and there’s no boot camp. You may make contributions in three different ways to support the general operation and ministries of the church:
- Tithe: A sacrificial contribution of 10% of your net or gross income each pay to support the general fund of the church.
- Offering: A sacrificial contribution which is less than 10% of your income to support the general fund of the church.
- In Memory Of: A sacrificial contribution in the name of the deceased to support the general fund of the church.
