Ministry with and for young generations is essential for the holistic growth and development of Antioch Chicago. Far from peripheral, this ministry is an integral part of Antioch Chicago where our younger generations can grow in their faith and discover the truths of God and the Bible. Through exciting worship services, lessons, activities, and events, we aim to make learning God’s Word our goal. Partnering with
 parents, we are committed to raising generations who love God, themselves, and others.
