  • E.T.C. (Extended Teaching Care)

This program allows children from nursery age to five years old to meet and learn more about God?s Word during regular worship services. Following the opening of the Sunday morning worship service, the pastor sets aside a few minutes to speak with our children, present a short message to them and have prayer. They can then retire to E.T.C. specifically structured for their needs.

The primary theme of WMU (Women Missionary Union) is to share the gospel with all people that they may come to know God through Jesus Christ. It is an organization for women to come learn more about Jesus Christ and the wonderful gifts that He gives to us each day. WMU also provides excellent avenues for women to share and teach about those gifts and about how Jesus has touched each of their lives.

Antioch is fortunate enough to have had a large and loyal WMU following throughout the years to help support our mission work, and we are grateful for the contributions of the WMU both past and present. We also know that we can count on them for missions support in the future!

What is our purpose?

WMU is a group-based organization for spreading the Good News, for fostering positive spiritual growth, and for assisting missionaries in their work in the field. Our stated mission goals are:

- Praying for and giving to Missions

- Doing mission work (Ministry and Witnessing)
