Pastor: Rich Wardwell

Antioch has also been blessed with ministry of Bro. Rich Wardwell, who has come on board to serve as our Lead Pastor.  He and his wonderful family have definitely brought much light and joy to our church family.  Bro. Rich is married to his beautiful wife, Julie, and they have two amazing children, Davis and Anne.  Graduating at the top of his class from the University of Georgia, Bro. Rich is currently working on a Masters of Divinity from the Asbury Theological Seminary.  Prior to entering the ministry, he worked for over 25 years in the technology industry, including 15 years in management and operations roles.  Bro. Rich has even worked with many well-known companies like ESPN, FOX News, and USA Today.  However, his greatest calling has been the one he received to serve and preach the word of God.  In life, we can attain many feathers in our caps, but the greatest accomplishment anyone can ever achieve is to point someone to Jesus through the words we say, the love we give, and the life we live.  Bro. Rich has certainly answered that call and we pray that God will continue to bless him, his family, and his ministry as he follows the path laid before him with a passion and perseverance that shines brightly for all to see.
