ORGANIZED 1828

Antioch Baptist church has the destinction of initiating the first Sabbath School, organized Saturday Aug.1, 1848. Antioch earlier was an "arm church" of French Broad (now Dandridge First) Baptist Church begun in May of 1813. They met in a new meeting house on Indian Creek. Antioch Baptist Church joined the Nolachucky Baptist Association, in 1829, listing 29 members. The Civil War struck the church a devastiating blow and for two years the members did not meet, for fear of their lives. Their meeting house was destroyed and when they resumed meeting it was in the Union School House. The third calamity to overtake Antioch was the embayment of Douglas Lake by TVA. This scattered members, as many lost farms and property, and the building and cemetery were moved to higher ground. The low mark in membership was 17 members in 1947. Antioch's initial pastor was Duke Kimbrough and the church has been served by 28 pastors.
