Our Focus
We are a Catalyst for the Global Missions Movement out of Singapore. We aspire to encourage obedience to the Great Commission and to see Singapore pursue her Antioch call in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are a servant of the Body of Christ. We will pull together visionaries, theologians, strategists, and practitioners to offer training, exchange best practices, and share resources to help the local church thrive and excel as a seedbed and sender for world missions. We believe that every local church has the potential to become an Antioch for Asia and the world.
We are a steward of the next generation. We will inspire and mobilise Singapore’s sons and daughters into world missions. We must give the young a cause worth living and dying for - Our Father’s global mission. We will be a loud, clear and prophetic voice, raising high the banner of world missions, in the Christian marketplace of ideas. We believe our youth will rise to the level of the challenge that is issued.
We are a bridge-builder for business as mission. We will encourage and equip market-placed Christians to practise godly values, to be missional in thinking, and to harness their wealth and expertise towards world missions.
Our History
Antioch 21 was the vision of the late Pastor Rick Seaward. The Body of Christ in Singapore remember and honour him as a tireless champion of world missions and church planting movements. Under Pastor Rick’s leadership, Antioch 21 was first launched in 2003 to galvanise the Church in Singapore to pursue her Antioch call. It was then relaunched in November 2021, by a new team of mission practitioners under the leadership of Joseph Chean. Read about the event here: https://tinyurl.com/antioch21-relaunched
