The first Antioch Christian Church was organized in 1905, and was first named The North Main Street Christian Church, it only had twelve members. The twelve members met in a basement on Ellis Hill. ​In 1921 Rev. Miller and Rev. H.G. Fleming served as pastors. In 1942 The church name was changed to Antioch Christian Church. The Rev. Garther W. Roland was called as pastor in 1965. Under his leadership Antioch continued to improve in all phases of church work. The mortgage was paid in full and the mortgage burning ceremony was held on December 15, 1974. In 1978, a new sanctuary was added and on April 1, 1979 we moved into our present sanctuary. In 1997 Rev. James A. Gilliam became the pastor, and under his leadership we continue to strive, and grow; trusting and serving God along the way.

~Romans 15:7

To be a faithful, growing church, that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality, and a passion for justice.

~Micah 6:8
