What is Antioch?

The Acts of the Apostles report, “It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians.” During the early church times, the community at Antioch was recognized as a particularly faithful, vibrant, loving, prayerful people of God.

Are we known as a Christian people at school, at home or in our neighborhood? Do we allow our faith in God to affect the way we are and act? Are we more loving, faithful, caring, honest and joyful because of our faith?

We are challenged as young people of the Church to accept the Love of God.

What is AntiochTeam.com?
