Whether you are seeking a new church home or exploring church for the first time, we are glad you are here. Our congregation’s roots trace back over 200 years. The sanctuary has been in continuous use since 1857. That’s a long time, and we are proud of our tradition! Yet in the tradition of the Christian faith, we are relative newcomers! We honor and respect our past while looking ahead to the fut
ure. And we are excited about what we see! We are growing in spiritual vitality, outreach and mission, and in people participating. On a typical Sunday morning, over 50 people of varying ages gather to worship at 11:00 am. We offer nursery services for infants and toddlers, although children of all ages are welcome in worship. Children’s Church is a ministry to children ages 3 to 11 that exposes them to the beginning of the worship service, and then they retreat to age appropriate Bible lessons and activities. Sermons are recorded and available on our website, www.antiochmethodistchurch.org. Here are some of the ministries in which we’re involved:
An engaging community Bible Study that meets each Tuesday night with a meal. Sending teams of volunteers to repair homes in eastern North Carolina
Reenactment of Jesus journey at Easter
Assemble emergency response kits in case of natural disasters anywhere in the
world
Join community churches to be a “Neighbor Helping Neighbors,” a construction

Gleaning vegetables from area farms for those experiencing poverty and hunger
A mission – oriented group of the United Methodist Women
Vibrant “Prayer-gram” ministry
Monthly food collections for those in need
Gift ministries for local and international children
You are invited to come worship, learn and serve with the Antioch community as we seek to be the presence of Christ to the world around us.
