A Place for You
If you are looking for a place where you can worship, grow spiritually, and search for answers to life’s questions, then Antioch Baptist Church may be the place you’ve been looking for.
Wherever you are in life’s journey, whatever your status or stage in life, we believe that God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. We invite you to come discover friendship, community, and your true purpose.
We are elated to be continuing our in-person Sunday services. We do ask, however, that everyone respect and honor any precautions requested to protect the health of those we gather with. The most important thing and best of all is that we will be together for worship and fellowship.
The WORSHIP SERVICE begins at 11:00 am, and SUNDAY SCHOOL begins at 9:45 am.
If you are unable to join us in person, you can watch the service via live-stream at 11:00 am.
Service Times
Worship services are Sundays at 11:00 am. We have Sunday School classes for all ages at 9:45 am immediately before the worship services.
Child care is available, as well as children’s church for kids kindergarten through third grade, during both Sunday School and Worship Service.
Bible studies occur on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall.
Where to find us
We are located at 1707 White Cross Rd, Chapel Hill, NC 27516.

Operation Christmas Child / March
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done. Prov 19:17
EACH CHILD SAVED MAKES EVERY BOX WORTH THE SMALL EFFORT IT TAKES. GIVE LIKE SOMEONE’S SOUL DEPENDS ON IT – IT JUST MIGHT! COPIED
March suggested items for shoeboxes: Crafts, hair accessories, St. Patrick’s Day items will be reduced after Mar.17. For other suggestions search Amazon for Operation Christmas Child or check out our church wishlist at: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/T560F83KK5KM?ref_=wl_sharet.
Antioch family, did you know there are no funds in the church budget allotted to Operation Christmas Child? The bulk of the items purchased for the 515 boxes we packed at the packing party were purchased/made by a small team of ladies (5 or 6). We do this because we love this ministry and believe in its mission. We could really use your help with either purchasing items, donating funds for purchases, donating funds for the “shipping” of these items, and especially praying for the ministry. As you plan your charitable giving in 2024 please consider donating to Operation Christmas Child or Samaritan’s Purse.
Through the distribution of Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, we are thankful to God for all the boys and girls around the world who have an opportunity to hear the Good News that “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).
Mission Projects / March
–Annie Armstrong Easter Offering– The 2024 theme is MAKE JESUS KNOWN.
The scripture verse is Mark 16:15, “And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
Gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering are used to train and resource missionaries in church planting and compassion ministries. Gifts are also used to create evangelism resources. New churches are being planted, hurts are healed and lives are being transformed by the Gospel because you give.
In 1895, an offering was first collected for the work of the Home Mission Board. In 1934, this offering was renamed the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for Home Missions to honor the work of Annie Armstrong as a tireless advocate for giving, praying and going to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with those who did not know him.
ONE HUNDRED PRECENT OF GIFTS given to the AAEO offering goes directly to the missionaries for their use in the field in North America and Canada.

Men’s Fraternity
Men’s Fraternity Series “The Quest for Authentic Manhood” By: Robert Lewis
A learning and mentoring group for men and young men. This session is designed to help embrace a bolder and more noble concept of manhood. This study leads men along a journey toward real biblical masculinity while fostering deep spiritual, emotional, and personal growth. This study also takes a man inside himself to consider the forces that are shaping – or misshaping – his personal manhood. Men’s Fraternity is designed to bring Christian males together in a safe, comfortable setting where they can learn the true, biblical meaning of manhood and honestly share their challenges and concerns. Sessions begin: February 23rd and continue through May. Weekly group meetings will be held in the fellowship hall on Thursdays: 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. There are no fees to attend and these sessions are open to all men and young men.
Country Breakfast held last November
A special thanks to all of you volunteers who made the 28th Antioch Country Breakfast a great success. Seventy-four volunteers served 334 meals including take-outs.
Financial figures are:
- Total donations: $4.270
- Total from Craft/Bake sale: $1,202
- Less Expenses: ($1,022)
- Net Proceeds (for missions): $4,451
Even more important were the fellowship and comradery among the volunteers and the opportunity to work with the youth and to visit with old friends and meet new friends from the church and community.
We plan to continue Country Breakfasts usually on the 3rd Saturday in May and the 2nd Saturday in November.
To God be the glory.

The last Friday of the month is set aside for our youth to gather together, socializing and relaxing. We play games, watch movies, fellowship with friends and adult leaders. We meet in the fellowship hall and typically have dinner together before games and activities start. If you are in grades 6-12, come and check us out!
Ronald McDonald House
The Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill helps provide housing and other care for families that have children in hospitals around the area. We go to the Ronald McDonald House generally once a month to feed the families that are staying at this home away from home. It is a blessing to us and to these families when we take just a few hours to provide a delicious home-cooked meal for them at the end of their long day.

Thoughts to Ponder
“How sweet all at once it was for me to be rid of those fruitless joys which I had once feared to lose and was now glad to reject! You drove them from me, You who are the true, the sovereign joy. You drove them from me and took their place, You who are sweeter than all pleasure, though not to flesh and blood, You who outshine all light yet are hidden deeper than any secret in our hearts, You who surpass all honor though not in the eyes of men who see all honor in themselves. At last my mind was free from the gnawing anxieties of ambition and gain, from wallowing in filth and scratching the itching sore of lust. I began to talk to you freely, O Lord my God, my Light, my Wealth, and my Salvation.” – Augustine
“We are programmed for failure if we’re looking for ultimate answers in a non-ultimate realm, a realm that’s partial, fragmented, incomplete. We end up worshiping the creation rather than the Creator. We can do that as believers. The total answer is a Person, Jesus Christ. It’s part of God’s program to make us dissatisfied with what the temporal realm offers, so that we might seek life in Him.” – Dan Stone
“When Christ gives you soul-rest, there is rest for your conscience because He removes its sin-caused guilt. His soul-rest also includes rest for your mind because He reveals Himself as the truth of God. He ministers rest for your heart since it no longer has to frantically search for a haven of rest. There is rest in Him for your fears since your soul is in His loving, omnipotent hands for all eternity. Christ also provides rest for your sense of purpose now that you have Him to worship, love, and serve.” – Donald S. Whitney
