Whether here in Galveston or in the most remote parts of the earth, we believe a local church committed to evangelism and discipleship can change the world.

Antioch Galveston is part of the Antioch International Movement of Churches, a network of churches both state-side and international that is connected by relationship and a belief that the local church is God’s instrument in bringing the hope and life of Jesus to a world in need. The Antioch movement, which began more than 20 years ago, is dedicated to seeing the local church reproduce the Kingdom of God through evangelism and discipleship throughout the United States and around the world.

Today the original church planting vision has grown into a church-planting movement with over 75 churches in 20+ nations of the world, including churches scattered throughout the US in cities like Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Boston, Chicago, Knoxville, Tempe, Fort Collins, Norman, Dallas, College Station and …. Galveston. For more information visit the movement website below.

Antioch Houston Family of Churches

“He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.” -Isaiah 11:12

In 2012, Fred and Becca Nelson carried this Antioch church-planting church vision to Houston. As the original Antioch Houston church began to grow and multiply across the city, the Antioch Houston Family of Churches was formed in 2020 as a relational network of Antioch churches in the greater Houston metroplex to collaborate for mutual support and mission. Today, the Antioch Houston Family of Churches consists of three churches in the greater Houston metroplex, thirteen long term international workers in four countries, as well as several shared local impact ministries, including Unbound, Antioch’s anti-human trafficking organization.
