On the first Saturday of each November, our church hosts a community pioneer festival. Antioch Days draws crowds of over 5000 people from around the state, focusing on the historic past of our small community. Through historical displays of our church, antique farm equipment, and pioneer demonstrations; we pay tribute to our rural cultural heritage. This year we are merging our pioneer Festival and Marketplace into one exciting day! Marketplace is an opportunity primarily for individuals and home-based businesses to showcase their items for sale to the public.
“Antioch Days" is a time set aside each year to celebrate our founding as the Church at Antioch, established in 1854.
It is a solemn recognition of the faithfulness & dedication of early Christians, who in obedience followed the leading & direction of a sovereign God in establishing a church in the wilderness near the shores of Lake Thonotosassa.
Antioch Days is a tribute to a band of believers who, together in kindred spirit, faced tremendous obstacles, endured great hardship and literally gave blood, sweat and tears for the foundation of a rock solid church - one which is alive and well today - The Church at Antioch!
This annual celebration serves to pay tribute and speak loudly a heart-felt "thank you" to all those past generations of church families, to each and every family member who chose to covenant their hearts together and cast their lot to become the church on the corner where people meet friends and friends meet Jesus, at The Church at Antioch, East Thonotosassa Baptist.
