Antioch Church to celebrate 160 years in September 2025

From Judy Reliford

Antioch began around 225 years ago when a group of people who believed in Christ meet as a congregation at a location that became known as "The Antioch Meeting Place" in the Sparksville community of Adair County, Kentucky.

In 1865 (160 years ago), the first church was built on the present location. In 1945, the present building replaced the original building at the same location. The 1945 sanctuary remained much the same as it was when first built. There were Sunday School rooms added around 20 years later. A fellowship hall was added years later, and in 2016, the sanctuary was remodeled.

The 160 Year Celebration will be at Antioch Church on Sunday, September 7, 2025, with a morning service beginning at 10amCT, with a meal to follow around NoonCT. Anyone with ties to Antioch as well as others interested in this event are invited to join us. This milestone event will include worship, fellowship, and sharing many precious memories. Join us as we honor our history and look forward to the future together!

Antioch Church is located at 3324 Wheeler Hill Rd., Columbia, KY. Correspondence can be mailed or sent by e-mail to antioch3422@gmail.com.
