MISSION & VISION

The mission and vision of Antioch Christian Fellowship is to build and equip radical believers who love God, love one another, and live out God’s word passionately for the sake of discipling new believers locally and around the world.

VALUES

HONOR

We honor and give priority to the Holy Spirit. We honor all people, made in the image of God, for whom Christ died (1 Corinthians 3:16, Romans 8:9, Romans 5:15, Genesis 1:26-27).

FAMILY

We hold sacred the bond of family, defined as both blood and spiritual kin. We also strive to love and live in peace with others, preserving relationships whenever possible through Christ’s example of grace and forgiveness (Colossians 1:18, 1 Corinthians 15:46, Ephesians 4:1-2, 32).

TRUTH

We confess the Truth personified in Jesus, and we rejoice in the freedom that truth brings through worship and love as a guiding principle that continuously shapes our lives (John 14:6, 1 John 3:18, John 8:32, John 4:24).

RIGHTEOUS LIVING

We pursue righteousness, fulfilled in Christ, the promise of which is favor, blessings, and security (Matthew 6:33, Proverbs 21:21, Proverbs 10:2, 2 Timothy 4:7-8).

APPLIED KNOWLEDGE

We value a teachable spirit that yields to and applies scripture leading to spiritual maturity and multiplication through discipleship (Romans 12:2, Luke 8:4-15).

BELIEFS

  • We believe the scriptures, comprising both Old and New Testaments, are the inerrant, authoritative word of God written by men that expresses God’s heart for creation, His plan of salvation, and His instruction in righteousness for every believer.

    Reference: 2 Timothy 3:15-17

  • We believe in one God expressed in three divine natures as Father, Son, and Spirit, co-equal in glory, revealed in and through creation.

    Reference: Matthew 28:19; I Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Romans 1:20

  • We believe that salvation and eternal life are available to all who confess Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and believe that He died and rose from the dead for the sins of humanity.

    Reference: John 3:16; Romans 10:9

  • We believe that salvation precedes sanctification, a transformative process that secures the believer’s relationship with God and conforms the believer to the image of Christ leading to holiness in partnership with the Holy Spirit.

    Reference: 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Corinthians 6:11

  • We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God whose life, death, and resurrection made it possible for the wholesale forgiveness of sin for all humanity and the assurance of perpetual peace with God. We believe Jesus Christ is the physical representation of God to humankind, to whom we refer as Savior and Lord.

    Reference: Colossians 2:9; Romans 5:1; 1 John 3:2
