Our Pastor

Chris Collins Jr. was born and raised in Greenville, SC. Chris was raised in a Christian family and came to trust Christ at an early age. He graduated from Bob Jones University in 2011 with a B.A. in Christian Missions, and he completed an M.A. in Bible with a biblical languages concentration from Bob Jones Seminary in 2013.

Chris and his wife Sarah met online on a missions website in 2015 and were married a year later in April 2016. They raised missions support and served as missionaries in Puebla, Mexico for four years, from April 2018 to April 2022. During their time in Mexico, God blessed Chris and Sarah with two boys, Mikey and Sammy.

In April 2022, God led the Collins family to return to the States and pursue a ministry here. Chris was called to be the pastor of Antioch Bible Church by a unanimous vote on July 3, 2022, and he and his family look forward to serving this body of believers and the surrounding community of Mesick, MI.
