Nurture your family, develop your spirituality- we want to help you grow.
It can be hard to find the right church for your family
With the loneliness epidemic on the rise and biblical knowledge in decline, having a church where you feel at home is more important than ever. If you are looking for a family-friendly church with a strong biblical foundation or just a new place to meet people, the Antioch SDA Church is the place for you! We know that visiting a new church by yourself can sometimes feel daunting. Schedule a Discovery Call to speak with our Pastor if you have any questions about our church or any other requests you may have.
What we offer you
Committed Pastoral care.
Getting the pastoral help you need at the right time is imperative. We make sure that our visitors and members have the pastoral support they need.
Biblical teaching and preaching
Understanding the Bible can be difficult and finding answers to life's most important questions can seem impossible. Our church places high value on making sure our teachings are firmly grounded in God's Word.
A safe place for multi-cultural, multi-generational community.
It can be challenging sometimes to know your family is completely accepted just the way you are. We take pride in our very multi-cultural congregation and we offer the accommodations needed for nursing Mothers and our elderly visitors and members.
Our Pastoral Family
Pastor Gabriel became the Pastor of our church two years ago. He was born and raised right here in Northern California and loves to call Antioch his home. Gabriel's passions in ministry are to make sure every visitor and member feels cared for and to provide strong biblical guidance. Gabriel has his bachelor's degree in theology and will soon graduate with his Masters degree in Pastoral Ministries from Andrews University. Gabriel's wife Rachel has been a professional traveling musician for the last decade, giving concerts in over 20 countries. Rachel was raised in a Jewish home and specializes in Jewish music- she is the Director for Jewish-Christian Relations here at our church. Gabriel and Rachel's son Avi is two years old, and they have a little girl on the way!
