We join together to
Love God;
Exalt Christ;
Seek His Will;
Serve His Purpose.
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 / November
“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
November shoebox suggestion: Pray and pack! So many shoeboxes were lost to natural disasters this year, can you pack one more? People all over the world need Jesus! Will YOU help spread the word? Every child that receives a shoebox hears about the hope that only comes from knowing Jesus.
Operation Christmas Child — shoeboxes are due November 17th.
Don’t forget our Amazon wish list if you prefer shopping from home.
Extra … Extra !! This year we will not have a one day Shoebox packing party. It is a lot of work! We will set-up packing in areas on the second floor of the Educational Building. Packing will begin on Saturday, October 12 at 9:00 am. Anyone wishing to pack during the week can come during office hours 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Saturdays will depend on someone being available to open the building (watch for announcements). I hope you’ll join us!
Please consider Building a Shoebox On-line. For $25 (includes $10 shipping) you can choose what items go in your box from a selection the ministry has chosen. They purchase quality items in bulk. Every box includes essential items, including chalk (age 2-4), crayons, colored pencils, notebook, pencils, pencil sharpener, pens (age 5-9 and 10-14), a comb or brush, and a toothbrush. You can pack a very nice box without leaving home and you will be notified of its destination in the Spring (most go to hard-to-reach countries).
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 / November
Thanksgiving Grocery Giveaway — Saturday, November 23rd in the fellowship hall at 9:00 a.m. The grocery giveaway allows Antioch to help people in need that live in the White Cross Community.

A sign-up form will circulate through the Sunday School classes for volunteer opportunities. The grocery giveaway will be a drive-thru, pick-up event.
Angel Tree 2024 — gift collection for children in need.

Gifts are due by December 8th. Angel Tree with gift tag information will be available for adoption no later than November 24th.

Thoughts to Ponder
“The tongue is you in a unique way. It is the tattletale on the heart and discloses the real person. Not only that, but misuse of the tongue is perhaps the easiest way to sin. There are some sins that an individual may not be able to commit simply because he does not have the opportunity. But there are no limits to what one can say, no built-in restraints or boundaries. In Scripture, the tongue is variously described as wicked, blasphemous, foolish, boasting, complaining, cursing, contentious, sensual and vile. And that list is not exhaustive. No wonder God put the tongue in a cage behind the teeth, walled in by the mouth!” – John MacArthur
“Authentic communication is much more than just talking. It is understanding and being understood; identifying a tone of voice; detecting nonverbal cues; responding appropriately to offense; resolving conflicts; knowing what to say, when to say it and how to say it; experiencing the risks and rewards of knowing and being known; and much more.” – Dennis Rainey
“Your words and the manner in which you speak are critical to harmonious relationships. As you learn to speak the truth in love, you must also determine when to speak, how to speak in an edifying manner, and to whom you should speak. The power of your words is enormous, and they also show the condition of your heart. Even your idle words will be accounted for in the Day of Judgment.” – John Broger
