Lifegroups: the heartbeat of Antioch

lifegroups small groups home groups in waltham

If you're looking for an imperfect group of people learning to walk with a perfect God, you're in the right place! Our Lifegroups (modeled after the early church in Acts 2:42-47) are a place for people to find authentic community and learn how to grow as disciples of Jesus.

Lifegroups meet in homes throughout the week, and visitors are always welcome. Our Lifegroups are organized by either life stage, Bible Study, book focus, or other “discipleship” groups based around certain topics, and sometimes might be referred to as “Intentional Community Groups”, or “ICGs”. Of course, you are welcome to attend any Lifegroups that works with your schedule! At any Lifegroup you visit, you will find a group of people who are gathered together to be revived in God, refreshed in community, and released in purpose.

Lifegroup core values

Word-Centered: we submit to Jesus by honoring and obeying His Word as we are empowered by His grace.

Presence-Based: we eagerly desire the Holy Spirit’s activity as we partner with God in prayer, worship, and the practice of spiritual gifts.

Kingdom-Relationships: we pursue authentic fellowship by humbly and sacrificially choosing to love and relate to one another God’s way.

Mission-Focused: we embrace the call to be disciple-makers of all people as we reproduce our lives and ministry while compassionately caring for others and introducing them to the Good News of Jesus.

Lifegroups for Families

As a ministry for our families with children and older adults, we desire to see the book of Acts come alive by devoting ourselves to consistent fellowship, prayer, and growth. Our intention is to see people come into deeper relationship with Jesus and increase in passion for Him and His purposes.

Our Families and Adults have opportunities throughout the year to take part in marriage and parenting teachings, family camp, as well as church picnics and casual gatherings. We invite you to come and do life with us!

For more information, contact Sophia Ma and check out our events page.

Lifegroup for Young Adults (20’s & 30’s)

Lifegroup for Young Adults (20’s & 30’s) – Fall 2024

Come and join a movement of young adults who desire to live like Jesus and impact their neighborhoods, workplaces, and relationships with the love of God. We are recent college graduates, young professionals in their 20's and 30's, and married couples without kids, who all believe that doing life together is better than doing it alone. Lifegroup provides a place for us to encounter God together and dream about how He wants to work through us to minister to our city.

Delta Youth Group (grades 6-12)

Antioch's youth group is a place for middle school and high school students from the Greater Boston area to come and encounter the God who loves them. A community that creates space for teens to honestly ask questions and figure out what it looks like to take ownership of their faith, all while building deep and encouraging friendships with fellow students and trusted leaders.

For meeting times, contact info and more information check out our Delta Youth Group page here.

Mom Connection

Mom Connection is a place where moms in every season of motherhood can gather together and encounter the love and presence of God, be refreshed in authentic community, and be encouraged and equipped to pour out for our families and those around us.

~~~~~~~~~~

Wednesdays, 9:30am–11am

On the first and third Wednesdays of the month, we gather at Antioch Waltham to hear from other moms as they share their stories and experiences. Limited childcare is provided on these weeks.

On the second and fourth Wednesdays, we meet at parks or in homes to connect and pray together. We have our kids with us during these meetings.

We also aim to carve out an evening each semester to gather together for fun, connection, and encouragement for those with Wednesday daytime commitments since that time of refill is so valuable for all of us! If you would like to help plan these evening times please reach out to our leadership team and let us know.
