Discover theological education that equips next-generation church leaders and planters—rooted in New Testament patterns, led by active practitioners, and connected to a global movement.
Maybe you've noticed the gap between church as you know it and what you read in the book of Acts. Maybe you're drawn to simpler, more organic expressions of church life. Or maybe you're just hungry for biblical training that goes deeper than what you're finding locally. You're not alone.
Across the globe, a new generation of leaders is rediscovering the patterns of the early church, when the Gospel spread spontaneously through simple, reproducible communities. Before the institutional complexity. Before the programs and buildings. When the way of Christ and His Apostles transformed the world.

Testimonials
The growth I experienced in my understanding of doing ministry in a local church context included not just what I was learning as head knowledge, but it was maturing me in my character and also developing my skills as a minister of the gospel.
Sam Cobb B. Min Graduate
I can't stress enough how much my life changed because of the Antioch School. I have an entirely different life trajectory because I have learned the way of Christ and his apostles. It has changed everything about my life, from how I see myself being utilized in the church for Christ's mission, down to how I relate to the individuals in my church.
Nate Morches B. Min Graduate
For me, the Antioch School created a paradigm for how the church is meant to function, what God intended for leadership in the church, and how to recognize different callings and gifts and position them well.
