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 /May
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
EACH CHILD SAVED MAKES EVERY BOX WORTH THE SMALL EFFORT IT TAKES. GIVE LIKE SOMEONE’S SOUL DEPENDS ON IT – IT JUST MIGHT! COPIED
May shopping suggestions: small water bottles, hairbrush, comb, toothbrush, BandAids, washcloth, games like cards, dominoes, checkers, etc.
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 / May
“I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Matthew 25:36
–ALAMANCE/ORANGE DEPT. OF CORRECTIONS BIRTHDAY GIFTS– Donations for Gift Bags ~ Antioch’s month for gifts and party treats for the inmates at Alamance/Orange DOC is the month of May. There are protocols in place for the safety and health of all, that do not allow us to visit and have a party in person. A birthday party is something we might take for granted. This ministry is a vital part of connecting to the inmates as Antioch has found in past birthday parties, there are men who never had a birthday cake or party. Chaplain Josh is having monthly birthday gatherings for the men during their birthday month. Gift bags will be given to the men at their birthday celebration. Donations of items for the gift bags are needed.
Items recommended are: toothbrushes, toothpaste (6-8 oz size), shampoo (regular size bottles), soap (bath size), wash clothes, lotion (21-32 oz size), Antiperspirant deodorant, (powder stick or solid only), Individually wrapped snacks (crackers, cookies, candy), chewing gum.
Please keep the men, Chaplain Josh and the ministry at the DOC in your prayers.
donations are due by Sunday, May 19th.
Please place donations in the basket in hallway between the sanctuary and educational building.
“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!! I have over come the world. John 16:33

Antioch Community Closet
Our Community Closet held on March 23 here at Antioch Baptist Church on White Cross Road was a great success. We had a bountiful selection of clothes, shoes, toys and furniture that had been donated from members within our community who no longer needed these items. We were able to serve 90 individuals of our community who will be putting these items to great use! Most people left with 3 or 4 grocery bags full of goods. One family came from as far away as Franklinville. We were so glad to be able to serve everyone. Thank you to all our donors and volunteers! Enjoy the ‘before’ pictures below.
Thoughts to Ponder
“New birth…means one has enthroned Christ in the center of one’s life. You become a Christian when your life, thinking and behavior begin to revolve around Jesus Christ. Until that happens, professions and decisions mean very little. Changed behavior processing from a spiritual heart transplant is the only certain evidence of new birth.” – William Farley
“Most likely, tens of thousands of people have “invited Christ into [their] hearts,” thinking that a mystical experience is what saves them. Then, they go on their merry way, living their lives as they did before. If you were to ask them, “How do you know that you are going to heaven?” they would respond, “Because I invited Christ into my heart.” But if you probe, there is nothing beneath the shallowness of that reply. They did what someone told them to do, but never really embraced the Savior.” – Daniel Wallace
“The sure test of the quality of any supposed change of heart will be found in its permanent effects. Whatever, therefore, may have been our inward experience, whatever joy or sorrow we may have felt, unless we bring forth fruits meet for repentance, our experience will profit us nothing. Repentance is incomplete unless it leads to confession and restitution in cases of injury; unless it causes us to forsake not merely outward sins, which others notice, but those which lie concealed in the heart; unless it makes us choose the service of God and live not for ourselves but for Him. There is no duty, which is either more obvious in itself, or more frequently asserted in the Word of God, than that of repentance.” – Charles Hodge
