Antioch house church network

We are a diverse gathering of people who are madly in love with Jesus, deeply connected to each other, and radically devoted to Christ’s commission to make disciples of all nations.

The Antioch House Church Network is built upon the apostolic model found in Acts 11–13, where the Church at Antioch became a sending center for global transformation. This network is not a denomination, but a Spirit-led movement echoing the original Ecclesia—called out, commissioned, and consecrated. “Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers…” (Acts 13:1). This foundation blends prophetic revelation with apostolic strategy.

Born from over 20 years of deep study and prayer, this network honors the legacy of the early Church fathers—Ignatius, Polycarp, and others—who carried the flame of authentic discipleship. It also recognizes the remnant throughout history who refused compromise and preserved the mantle of Ecclesia. “Contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.” (Jude 1:3)

The Antioch model rejects religious performance and institutional control, restoring the original intent of the Church as a governing body of Spirit-filled believers. House churches are not lesser expressions—they are frontline outposts of Kingdom authority. 

“On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18)

This network is called to connect, equip, and mobilize independent house churches across North Florida and Southern Georgia. It is a regional hub for relational covering, strategic training, and prophetic encouragement. Like Antioch, it is both local and global in vision. “You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

The Antioch House Church Network restores the five-fold ministry (Ephesians 4:11–13) as the governing structure of the Ecclesia. Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers are not titles—they are functions that equip the saints for the work of ministry and build up the Body in maturity and unity.

Each house church is a spiritual family, not just a meeting. The network fosters covenant relationships, healing from religious trauma, and restoration of belonging. “They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.” (Acts 2:46). The goal is not attendance—it’s transformation.

This movement carries prophetic clarity and apostolic urgency. It discerns the times and seasons, confronts counterfeit systems, and mobilizes the remnant. “Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies.” (1 Thessalonians 5:19–20). The fire of Acts still burns—and it must be stewarded with purity and boldness.

The network serves as a hub for Spirit-led curriculum, discipleship tools, and creative resources. These materials are designed to equip youth, adults, and leaders for Kingdom impact. “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed…” (2 Timothy 2:15). Every resource is birthed in prayer and prophetic insight.

This is a call to the hidden ones—the rejected, the radical, the reformers. 

The Antioch House Church Network exists to awaken and align the remnant for revival, reformation, and governmental influence. “The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.” (Romans 8:19)

The network honors diversity in expression while maintaining unity in Spirit and truth. It does not demand conformity but cultivates covenant. “There is one body and one Spirit… one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” (Ephesians 4:4–5). Each house church retains its unique identity while being part of a larger Kingdom tapestry.

Strategic gatherings will be held to strengthen relationships, release prophetic direction, and commission leaders. These hubs will serve as Antioch-style centers for worship, prayer, and sending. “While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul…’” (Acts 13:2)

This network teaches victorious warfare rooted in rest, sonship, and revelation of the Cross. It equips believers to stand in authority, not strive in fear. “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God…” (2 Corinthians 10:4). The gates of hell will not prevail against a united, Spirit-filled remnant.

The Antioch House Church Network is not a moment—it’s a movement. It exists to build legacy, multiply leaders, and prepare the Bride for Christ’s return. “And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly…” (Acts 6:7). The goal is generational impact.

This network was not established to rule over any house church, but to serve them. It follows the biblical model seen in the Book of Acts, where Antioch functioned as a sending and equipping center—not a controlling institution. Our heart is to help, assist, instruct, and guide house churches with humility and honor, never to dominate or dictate.

 “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” (Matthew 20:26)

We believe that true spiritual authority flows from servanthood. The Antioch House Church Network exists to wash feet, not to build empires. Our goal is to strengthen the hands of leaders, provide relational covering, and release resources that empower each house church to fulfill its unique Kingdom assignment. Whether in one region or many, our posture remains the same: to serve the Body of Christ with joy, honor, and prophetic clarity.

This is a clarion call to house church leaders, intercessors, reformers, and spiritual fathers and mothers across the region. The Antioch House Church Network is not just a resource—it’s a family. Come be part of the remnant rising. “From whom the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love…” (Ephesians 4:16)
