WORSHIP
EXPERIENCE
At Antioch, we don’t just have a Worship Service, we have a Worship Experience! From the Praise and Worship Period where we show reverence to God through high-energy songs, contemporary and traditional music and even sometimes liturgical dance, to the more solitude time when we worship our Lord and Savior, we embrace an atmosphere of coming together on one accord.
Our Sunday morning worship experience is comprised of two different styles. At 7:30 AM, our Morning Glory Worship Experience we offer a traditional style of worship. Following that our Sunday Grooves Worship Experience our contemporary worship experience, begins at 9:50 AM with a pre-service of praise music. The experience begins at 10:00 AM. We also offer two separate Worship Service Experiences for our children and youth. The children, ages five to 12 years-old, meet in the Multi-Purpose Center with the Foundation Team. The youth, ages 13 and older meet in the Chapel for IMPACT Worship. Their services are specifically designed with their generation in mind.
On Wednesday evenings we have W.OW. or Worship on Wednesday beginning at 7:00 PM. We offer this for what we refer to as a “Mid-Week Fill-Up”. Shortly before this Worship Experience we come together for “The Gathering”, our corporate prayer time, which begins at 6:30 PM.
Antioch is a church that is rooted in biblical teaching and preaching. Our founding pastor, Dr. Karry Wesley, shares the message of God with a sense of compassion, concern and commitment of connecting believers and non-believers to Jesus Christ.
Dr. Wesley uses an expository preaching style, along with alliterated points captured on the screens to share the message in an authentic way that is relevant, real and that reaches the hearts of people.
His messages are complemented with ministering through music by one of the seven choirs that are ready to share their experiences of how Jesus Christ has impacted their lives. Realizing that people respond to God's word in different ways, Antioch seeks to touch the senses in a variety of ways. We understand that because of our generational mix of members, some people respond better to the visuals on the screens, some to the audio and lighting effects and still some to just hearing the word.
Our family of faith, consisting of more than 5,500 members, includes a median age of 40. While the membership size might sound large, our connection is intimate enough to make everyone feel welcome. We are blessed to have a Pastor and First Lady who are approachable and who readily connect with members and guests alike. After service, both are available for a personal "meet and greet." Following that, guests are ushered to a Visitors' Reception where they can meet with key staff members and learn more about Antioch.
We welcome you to join us and experience God's word. And if you are led by the Spirit to answer the Invitation to Discipleship, we are ready to accept you as a member of our family of faith.
