The primary theme of WMU (Women Missionary Union) is to share the gospel with all people that they may come to know God through Jesus Christ. It is an organization for women to come learn more about Jesus Christ and the wonderful gifts that He gives to us each day. WMU also provides excellent avenues for women to share and teach about those gifts and about how Jesus has touched each of their lives.  Our mission is to inform and inspire the Christian women to influence her world for Christ.

Antioch is fortunate enough to have had a large and loyal WMU following throughout the years to help support our mission work, and we are grateful for the contributions of the WMU both past and present. We also know that we can count on them for mission’s support in the future!

The Officers of the WMU meets the first Monday of each month at 6:30pm at the church. The program is from the Missions Mosaic with the multi-focus option. Aside from this meeting, we also breakout into two smaller groups for more personal spiritual development and study of God's Word.

There are two Women on Mission groups that meet during the month:

• The Florence Smith Group meets the second Monday of each month at 1:00pm at Antioch. Missions Mosaic is the magazine and they use the Bible Study program.
