Antioch Community Church - Interior of main church - Churches Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Antioch has been an incredible experience of a church that is devoted to serving Jesus, the community around it, and reaching people in other countries. The young adult community is so welcoming and was very easy to get connected. read more

This is a church with good people who love God and will love you unconditionally. I appreciate everyone in this community and the time I've had there. Side note: Can you really Yelp review God? read more

So uplifting and everyone is so open arms! Truly people of God and just a great community for all ages. If you are looking for people who are on fire for God, I highly recommend this church! read more

We lived in the east valley for a few years searching for a church that loves God, takes scripture seriously, and loves all His people. The first Sunday I visited I came with just my daughter. The worship and message were good - but the people. Oh my gosh, the people of Antioch were so loving and kind. We started attending in late 2019 and drove 35 minutes one way to go because it was just that good. We found our friendships and activities were all closer to the church, so we actually moved in 2021 to be closer. Best decision ever! read more

Tried the church again to be fair and still just didn't feel welcoming or uplifting.

The worship and messages are phenomenal here! People are on fire and sing with their whole heart. People are seeking truth and wanting to walk closer to The Lord! Great place? read more

GOD MOVES HERE. WHO THE SON SETS FREE IS FREE INDEED. Come and drink of Him! His presence dwells in this place & this Godly community will encourage you and love you so fiercely. Please, please give this church a try and you will experience Him as your bridegroom and King in ways you have never known. Praise God. read more

These people read the Bible, and then obey it. I'm continuously humbled and impressed by how leadership walks in humility and seeks to learn and serve selflessly. I trust them because of their humility. They're more interested in loving God and loving people than they are in preserving a facade of trite perfection. It is an absolute honor to walk with these people in this church. I am so thankful. read more

We love the community and the passion to spread the gospel! The pastors are kind and authentic.

Antioch church has its potential to be a true house of God, and there are a lot of significant improvements Antioch church has to do for this to be a place as a gateway & resources to God, especially for young adults & college age people. Before I get involved with the college ministry, I went to their first lifegroup on GCU campus, I was amazed by how the leader(s) are so welcoming and inviting to their church & awakens (Thursday College Worship night) and went on the same week. It was when I started to keep going to their life groups that I have noticed that people (including leaders) have been intentionally ignoring you, while having all their attention on ONE PERSON speaking; they only give you 15 seconds to talk. When you bring this to their attention, instead of talking to you for a resolution (Matthew 18:15), they decided to escalate the minor issue to the pastors who have no ears to listen to your side of the story. This also means when you have minor personal issue/misunderstanding with someone from the lifegroup, that person did announce it to the public and gossip about it, just like the lifegroup members did (Matthew 18:15) and the pastor decided to not only not having an ear to hear my side of the story, but also decided to not only not allowing me to go on the mission trip and not allowing me to continue being part of their ministry as well. This means they are not allowing me to attend their college worship nights (awakens) where I felt God moves. Conflicts in a community can't always be avoided and all parties can learn from it. It is unhealthy and uncalled for anyone to go through what I have gone through with Antioch where things have been one sided. While there is no perfect church, a church that does what is called for will not exclude nor discard anyone. This is because a church that supports everyone in their community would have listened to each side of the story, hear their hearts out and help them, instead of to excluding/discarding them. A healthy church is an all inclusive godly community that people love, support, communicate, and forgive each other without keeping records of wrong doing (1 Corinthian 13:5). I pray God to be in every step I move. I appreciate this uncalled experience at Antioch where I really felt God moves and a sense of community. I Antioch Phoenix all the best in their future endeavor and God bless. I am peaceful. I will continue to look for the church God wants me to stay. read more

I would not recommend this church unless you want to be put in a place where people would exclude you and discard you when you are not who they expect you to be. A church never close doors on anyone. read more

I am not typically the person to write reviews, but given the amount of time I spent in Antioch (almost 10 years), as well as some time since I have attended, I feel compelled to write a review. I started attending Antioch as an undergraduate at ASU and continued going while I was in graduate school. I have been a part of the college and young adult ministries (served as a lifegroup leader in both), gone on several mission trips, lived in ministry houses, and attended the one-year discipleship school. I have known many of the pastors (current and past) and seen them in some of their most raw moments. I have cried, laughed, become frustrated, and overjoyed with many members in this church over the years. And through all of it I can say this is a great church, with strong vision, and a huge heart. If your interest is to "perfect your theology", this is not the place for you. There are a couple one-star reviews here that I believe come out of a place of hurt and borderline (if not overt) obsession with attaining a perfect theology. Antioch is not the place for attaining perfect theology (and I hope your goal in life is not this). Antioch is a place to grow in your relationship with God and learn how to love other believers and nonbelievers well. Antioch is Bible-based, not heretical, and has very solid theology. I would say that their pursuit of having a "reproducible ministry" and making church "easily accessible" to everyone has mostly resulted great fruit--people have a general road map of what it looks like to lead Bible study, do missions, etc. But as a natural consequence of this type of ministry, there have been some casualties over the years and people who have been unintentionally hurt. No ministry model is perfect (as we are not perfect), and I would say a consequence of having a "reproducible ministry" has resulted in some people rising the ranks in leadership too soon before their character became more fully developed. This has caused some of those leaders who rose too early to become hurt (as well as the people they were leading over). Generally, because of how relational the pastoral staff is, a lot of these rough edges have been smoothed out, and the church has continued forward with their vision to bring the kingdom of God to this valley and the nations of the earth. From my experience of seeing the way churches in other cities do ministry, Antioch is truly a diamond in the rough. The members really love their people well and the church has a very special calling that I truly believe will make a serious impact on the kingdom of God and the hearts of men. For any of the Antioch staff reading this, I just want to say thank you for loving me and standing with me in some of my most broken and raw moments. Thank you for teaching me how to hear God and walk in relationship with him. And thank you for all the amazing years of ministry in this city and the nations of the earth. I will look back on the years I spent in Antioch fondly. read more

I will share a simple message of warning to all that attend or are considering attending Antioch. I was a member for six years and served as volunteer team, hosted lifegroups, and even participated in their year-long discipleship/training school. I was typically devoting about 10+ volunteer hours per week to Antioch. During that time, I was taught how and encouraged to sin against The Lord in many different ways like prophesying falsely what God did not actually speak. Almost two years ago, I came to multiple members of the pastoral staff asking for Biblical clarification on things that they regularly teach. I was immediately met with disrespect, verbal abuse, and an encouragement to leave the church. After leaving, I was informed by a friend that I had been used as an example in a Sunday sermon as someone operating under demonic wisdom. My name was not used but many people identified me via circumstance as the individual being referenced. Staff began having private meetings with our friends that still attended Antioch to warn them about us. I do not want what happened to myself to happen to anyone else. I thank God that my belief in Him and the Gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed in His Word has not been harmed, but rather has been strengthened in this difficult situation. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions at alexhschultz@gmail.com. read more

I've been a part of this church family for five years and they never cease to amaze me. This is a genuinely humble group of people doing what they can every day to love those around them the way Christ loves us. The worship is powerful, Pastor Travis' sermons are engaging and based in scripture, and the community events and activities keep your week exciting as well. These folks aren't about getting your Jesus-fix on Sunday and then scraping by the rest of the week. They share their lives with each other every day and welcome you with open arms. Antioch is redefining what a family can look like. I'm so thankful to be a part of it. I love my church. read more

I really hate feeling the need to write this review, but I feel that I have an obligation to those who are searching for a new church and have stumbled upon this one. A warning, specifically to incoming/current college students: myself and several others spent many years of their life as a part of this organization, only to become outcasts for questioning some of the theologies of this church. I started going to this church in my first week of my freshman year at ASU, and was awestruck by the community and purpose they could provide me. Unfortunately it was only surface deep, and I was one of many who blindly walked into their culture. I am still recovering and taking time to retrace my views because of this church's teachings and how they handled myself and many others asking questions. And that's all it was: we asked questions, and our church leaders and friends refused to listen or answer. They merely asked if we believed their theology, and if we didn't, we were discarded. Please, take everything you hear with a grain of salt, and match it to the Bible (with real and true context). Ask other leaders of churches with seminary experience about the things you learn here. Read through Matthew 7. If myself and others had done so when we started attending Antioch, we may not have had to endure the difficulties we have had to. Some have had to go to counseling, many of us are having difficulties trusting the church again as we search for a new church home. 1 John 4:1 (ESV): "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." read more
