Our Culture
Every group of people has a distinct set of norms and values—that's the definition of culture. Here are ours...
Before Antioch ever held its first service, we sat down and asked a simple question: What kind of church do we want to be?
We prayerfully settled on five values that would shape everything we do. Nearly a decade later, those values have become more than aspirations. They've become part of our story.
And that story is still being written.
People Matter
We will go out of our way to show Christ’s love to all people. People matter to us because people matter to God!
From the beginning, we wanted Antioch to be a place where everyone could feel known, loved, and valued. That conviction has shaped everything from the way we welcome guests to our heart for individuals and families with special needs.
We love hearing people say, "It feels like home."
Life-Change
We believe God's Word changes lives. We've seen it in baptisms, restored relationships, growing families, and people taking their next steps with Jesus.
Our heart is to help people keep growing, no matter where they are in their journey of faith.
Genuine Faith
We will live out our faith by serving others, obeying God, and living bold. When you're in Christ, it's evident!
Antioch began with a handful of people willing to do whatever it took, even setting up and tearing down church every Sunday.
That same heart continues today. We believe following Jesus means putting our faith into action by serving one another, our neighbors, and our community.
Generosity
We will invest what God gives us, because we live within our means. God's the owner, and I'm the steward!
Before Antioch received its first offering, we committed to giving 10% of our general fund to missions and ministry partners.
Today, that spirit of generosity reaches far beyond finances. Our church family gives time, talents, and resources to make a difference here in Georgetown and around the world.
Creativity
We will not be afraid to try new things to reach people far from God. We are prayerful and not afraid to take risk!
We've met in schools, shared spaces, and borrowed church buildings. We've tried new ideas, launched ministries, and taken steps of faith without knowing exactly how everything would work out.
We're committed to following God's leading, even when it means trying something new.
These five values have shaped our church from the beginning, and we pray they'll continue shaping us for years to come.
We'd love for you to be part of the story.
