Welcome to Antioch
Our History
Founded in 1823, Antioch Baptist Church has been preaching the truth, sharing the gospel, and serving the community for 200 years. We are a member of the Southern Baptist Convention and the oldest church in the Centennial Baptist Association.
Our Mission Statement
We exist to glorify God by reaching the un-churched population of our area for Jesus Christ (membership); developing them into mature disciples (maturity), responsible church members (ministry), with a world-view for extending the Kingdom of God (missions).
Our Prayer
Our prayer is that before you even step through the doors of our church, you will already feel at home and know that Antioch Baptist Church is a place where you will be loved. Most importantly, however, we pray that you will find the truth and grace of the Gospel here at Antioch and have the opportunity to grow in knowledge and satisfaction through Jesus Christ. It is our desire to see men and women come to know Christ deeply through the passionate preaching of His Word, genuine worship, and Spirit-led community.

OUR COMMUNITY
Although we are located in rural Upson County, GA, we are just a few short miles from the town of Barnesville, which is the county seat of Lamar County, Georgia, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 6,755 reisdents. Barnesville was once dubbed the "Buggy Capital of the South" as the town produced about 9,000 horse-drawn buggies a year around the turn of the 20th century. The town celebrates its buggy heritage with an annual Buggy Days Festival every Fall. Barnesville is also the home of Gordon State College, formerly Gordon Military College. Today, Barnesville is a quaint small town with various shops and businesses and Lamar County is a rural, farming community.
