Antioch Ministries International
AMI is a non-profit church-planting organization affiliated with Antioch Community Church. We are made up of ordinary people whose lives have been changed by the love of Jesus Christ. As God initiates with us, we respond by actively sharing His life-giving truth with others. Through cell groups and one-on-one discipleship, we use the methods of the early church spoken of in Acts to establish churches overseas and in America. Our goal is two-fold: to see men and women equipped and sent to fulfill the call of God on their lives and to see local expressions of God's glory raised up throughout the earth.

The Church Planting Process
Although the process for becoming a church planter depends a lot on the speed of your personal growth in character and ministry skills, we use a general process to give direction for those wanting to get involved in vocational church planting with Antioch. Its simplified version follows.
- Get involved in a Lifegroup
- Intern as a Lifegroup Leader
- Lead and Multiply a Lifegroup
- Participate in a Short-term Mission Trip
- Attend Antioch Training Schools
- Apply to Join a Church Planting Team with AMI
- Attend Antioch Staff Values Training
- Plant a Church!
This process generally takes two to three years before one is actually ready to set foot in their church planting destination. Again, it can take longer depending on personal sanctification, training requirements, team formation, and developing prayer and financial ministry partners.
