Antioch Baptist Church is a historic and vibrant fellowship of believers located three miles south of Hannibal, Missouri. Established in 1869, this church embodies a spirit of resilience and faith, especially evident following a devastating fire in 2016 that destroyed their original building. Guided by Pastor Emmite’s inspiring words, “We will rebuild,” the community united to create a new worship space, which opened its doors in April 2019, debt-free and dedicated to service.

As a member of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Missouri Baptist Convention, and the Bethel Baptist Association, Antioch Baptist Church offers a plethora of services including worship gatherings, prayer meetings, and community support initiatives. They also provide resources such as a member directory, calendar of events, and various ministries for all ages. Celebrating their 150th anniversary, Antioch Baptist Church not only fosters spiritual growth but also builds meaningful connections within the Ralls County community, welcoming visitors to join in their journey of faith
