How we do it
Empowered by the Holy Spirit we are disciples who encounter God, make disciples and live on mission. We live this out through the 5 Circles of a Healthy Church, each of which is activated through the Word of God, the worship of God, prayer and obedience.
Acts 1:8 · Matthew 28:19-20
Psalm 27:4, 8 · Acts 4:13
Everything starts with a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus: knowing Him, loving Him and obeying Him.
In an Antioch church
A focus on personal devotion, with an emphasis on prayer, through disciplines and events such as church-wide fasts, Encounter Nights, freedom weekends, and consistent corporate prayer meetings.
Matthew 28:18-20 · 2 Timothy 2:2
Intentional relationships where we grow as lifelong followers of Jesus and help others do the same.
In an Antioch church
The prioritization of disciple-making as the core ministry of the church, typically through smaller groups of 2 or 3.
Acts 2:42-47 · Romans 16:5
Lifegroups and house churches in living rooms across the city, where people from all walks of life follow Jesus together.
In an Antioch church
House-to-House gatherings, generally called Lifegroup or House Church. We believe these house churches are the very heart of the church. We equip parents to make disciples of their children and believe discipleship starts in the home.
Resources for this circle are coming soon.
Acts 2:46-47 · Ephesians 4:11-12
The whole church together: worship, the Word, and vision for the city and the nations.
In an Antioch church
A weekly public service(s) for the Church Gathered that creates an environment to cast vision and lead both believers and unbelievers into encounters with God.

Acts 1:8 · 2 Corinthians 5:20
Every believer is sent to represent Jesus where they live, work and play, and to the ends of the earth.
In an Antioch church
The call for each believer to embrace their Witness to the World, including the corporate witness of the church through a church-based missions department for local, national, and international outreach.
