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 / December
“Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
EACH CHILD SAVED MAKES EVERY BOX WORTH THE SMALL EFFORT IT TAKES. GIVE LIKE SOMEONE’S SOUL DEPENDS ON IT – IT JUST MIGHT! COPIED
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).
We have packed over 600 boxes this year, and we are now collecting funds to transport the boxes to the children throughout the world. Please consider donating to help cover these costs.
Mission Projects / December

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering— The 2024 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering’s theme is “the Great Pursuit”. This theme reflects the idea that missionaries are part of a global effort to share the Gospel with those whom have not yet heard it.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LOTTIE MOON: 1—Lottie was born in Virginia on December 12, 1840. 2—Her name was Charlotte Diggers Moon, but everyone called her “Lottie”. 3–She stood a very tall 4’9″. 4—Lottie loved to pull pranks on others. 5—Lottie was appointed to China as a missionary at age 33 and served there for 39 years, primarily in Tengchow and Pingtu. 6–She wore Chinese clothes and lived like her Chinese neighbors. 7—Lottie had several nicknames in China—foreign devil, foreign lady teacher, heavenly book visitor, and the cookie make. Lottie baked cookies to win the hearts of the children and families who were frightened of her. 8—Lottie led in the campaign to end the practice of bound feet. Girls with bound feet could hardly walk, infections, gangrene, and even death were common side effects of this practice. 9—In 1912, at the end of her career, famine, flood, and war encircled her China. Her friends were starving. In a final act of empathy, Lottie stopped eating and gave all her food away. When her friends realized the depth of her sickness, they put her on a boat to return to the United States. Lottie died on Christmas Eve while en route to the United States.
Because of Lottie’s determination, WMU collected a Christmas offering to give to the Foreign Mission Board. In 1918, at Annie Armstrong’s suggestion, WMU named the offering for Lottie Moon. We still give to the LOTTIE MOON CHRISTMAS OFFERING in honor of her work and sacrifice to keep our missionaries of the field. 100% of the LMCO goes to support the missionaries.
Ronald McDonald meal: December 26th. Having a child in the hospital is challenging for a family. Coming “home” to a home-cooked meal is greatly appreciated by the families after a long day at the hospital. Antioch’s team cooks a balanced home-cooked meal as a way show God’s love to each person at the Ronald McDonald house. Please pray for the families and their children, staff, and volunteers at RMH.

Thoughts to Ponder
“The only way to get a bad thing is to take a good thing and spoil it. For example, darkness isn’t made up from nothing; you get it by blocking the light. Disease isn’t made up from nothing; you get it by ruining health. Notice that this doesn’t work the other way around – you can’t get light by blocking darkness or health by ruining disease. So God created only good things, but some of them have been spoiled.” – J. Budziszewski
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
“Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.” – Anne Frank
“The more a nation gets into darkness, the more it’s going to hate the light. The more it’s going to run from the light. And we have a generation of people who have given themselves to darkness, and they’ve embraced atheism, because it gets them away from moral responsibility to God.” – Ray Comfort
“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” – Plato
