5 Circles of Church
At Antioch, we want our relationship with Jesus to affect and infect every area of our lives, which is why we seek to embrace each of these circles continually. We want to have a deep devotional life in Jesus, seek to be and to make disciples, stay connected in community, serve and participate in our corporate gatherings and live on mission where God has planted each of us.
As opposed to focusing on one circle, we hope to grow in our holistic approach to walking with Jesus by committing to embrace all 5 Circles. Why? Because we want more of Jesus and we want Jesus to be glorified by, in and through us and His Church.
Personal Devotional Life
Circle 01 —
Personal Devotional Life encompasses our desire to see every person cultivate a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus that is filled with knowledge, love and desire to obey Him.
Life-on-Life Discipleship
Circle 02 —
Life-on-Life Discipleship relationships are intentional relationships that are focused on growing as lifelong, obedient followers of Jesus who in turn help others to do the same.
House-to-House
Circle 03 —
House-to-House describes how we do small-group community. We gather in living rooms across our city and see people of all walks of life consistently coming together to live out their relationship with Jesus in the context of close relationship with others.
Church Gathered
Circle 04 —
Church Gathered is, as the Bible says, "the gathering of the saints" — on Sunday mornings and throughout the week in various ministries.
Witness in The World
Circle 05 —
God commissions each of us to go into our spheres of influence and represent Jesus so that His Kingdom would come and His will would be done.
