What is world mandate?
Colossians 1:27
World Mandate 2027 is built around the conviction that the world is longing for a hope deeper than circumstances, stronger than suffering, and grounded in the living presence of Jesus. In a time marked by anxiety, division, disappointment, and uncertainty, we want to uncover the riches of the mystery Paul describes in Colossians: Christ in us, the hope of glory. Our hope is not merely optimism, self-improvement, or the promise of better outcomes. It is the presence of Jesus Himself—forming His people, uniting His Church, and extending His kingdom to the nations.

Youth Impact Trip
The youth at Antioch are selling Chick-fil-a lunches to raise money for their summer mission trip to an international location. If you would like to support the youth, you can add it to your ticket now or at the door, Friday night. They will offer drinks and snacks in the foyer for a small donation throughout the weekend!

The excitement continues beyond Saturday night! We warmly invite everyone to attend World Mandate Sunday service at 9:45 am & 10:045 am. It’s a time to rejoice in the beautiful things God has accomplished this weekend and to enjoy insights from our guest speaker, Joe Ewen.

We believe God has called us to be a church planting church that is a beacon and lighthouse for the nations. We believe God has called us as believers to carry His heart for the nations of the earth (including our own) and to share the good news of Jesus as disciples called to reach the lost and make disciples. We believe God has given us a World Mandate in the Great Commission and we desire to respond to His call.
