We don’t claim to be the only church, but we join together with all who are Christ-followers to live out our faith together. We encourage non-Christ followers to come as you are and seek God with us as well. Our dress is casual (if you prefer)… our music is contemporary with a few familiar favorites blended in occasionally… our messages attempt to take the Bible and apply it to our every day lives giving practical help for living out our journey of faith. We begin each Sunday at 10:15 AM. We also encourage you to get involved in a small group so that you can find community with others and learn more about God through Bible study. If you have any questions, e-mail any of the pastors or go to the website to find out more about Antioch. before I ever was willing to give up my own identity and let Him be my Lord and Savior. Do You Know Who Jesus Is? By Nathan Tate A couple of years ago, I read a book called, “They Like Jesus, But Not The Church” by Dan Kimball. It was a very eye-opening book about how many people in the world are drawn to Jesus (like he predicted they would be), but the church has turned them off. Even though the book was meant to be a “wake-up” call for the church, Kimball admitted that people who like Jesus, but not his bride sometimes have a skewed view of who Jesus really is. Do you know who Jesus really is? If you asked a Jewish person who they thought Jesus was, you would get one response. If you asked a Muslim, you might get another answer. If you ask a Christian, you might get the right answer and then again, you might not! Jesus is a very polarizing figure, and who he really is can be very offensive to many if not all. In fact, I had to be offended by the Gospel (Jesus) In April, we will be going through John 10, and we will let Jesus speak for Himself. He reveals who he really is in these 42 verses. He tells us that he is the gate, the good Shepherd, the guardian and God. Once you find out who Jesus really is, the next question is, “what will you do with Jesus?” Acknowledging that he is who he is doesn’t change your life. You must let him transform and renew you (Romans 12:1-2). Will you let Jesus take over your life? I pray you will. Don’t miss this Sunday, April 4, as we begin this series and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. If you regularly attend Antioch, please come early and sit towards the front and middle of the rows so that our guests can easily find a place to sit. Coffee is served at 9:45 AM, so come and enjoy a cup and help us welcome our guests.

I really feel that together in partnership we are raising a generation who will bring the light of God’s hope to a world in need of His love. I believe with the leading of the Holy Spirit, ACA can help our children be positive “Christ-like” contributors to God’s very own creation.” Annette Schrag, Principal “Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6 “...let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Hebrews 12:1b Our Mission To Support - ACA provides quality Christian education as an independent ministry of Antioch Christian Church. We believe that the education and training of children is a God-given parental responsibility. Our purpose is to support parents in this task. We serve as an extension of the home, existing to strengthen the parent-child bond. We work together with parents by guiding, loving and disciplining their children. To Equip - We will strive to equip your child academically by teaching all the core subjects in an effective manner, but we also want to equip your child morally. The best text book for this task is the Bible. Our philosophy of education is based upon the authority, authenticity, and reliability of the Bible as the complete and final revelation of God. We view Christian Education as the process of learning truth through the Bible, and communicating this truth in all that is studied. OPEN ENROLLMENT - ON-GOING - For all families Academy Office: 691-8012 Webpage: www.antiochokc.org (select the tab “SCHOOL”) Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14 Our Mission Antioch Christian Preschool is a mission of Antioch Christian Church.
