We Endeavor to Exalt the Savior, Evangelize the Sinners and Equip the Saints
We at Antioch Fellowship Baptist Church welcome you. We would like to extend an invitation for you and your family to join us at any of our services. We seek to assist Christians to grow and share the life-changing Gospel of Christ while glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ our "Savior and [our] God." (John 20.28 NASB)
Why Antioch? Antioch Fellowship Baptist Church (ACTS 11:25-26). “Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.” (1 Peter 4:16, Christians; "Followers of Christ”, or, "Of the Party of Christ”) Antioch-located some 200 miles N. of Sidon. Antioch was a major pagan metropolis, the third largest in the Roman Empire, behind Rome and Alexandria.(ACTS 11:19).
