The Antioch international movement of churches is a controversial network of evangelical churches headquartered in Waco, Texas founded in 1987 by the couple Jimmy and Laura Seibert. The movement is primarily focused on aggressive proselytization and corporate church franchising, otherwise known as church planting. This particular group of churches are obsessed with missions and expansionism throughout the United States and the world. Their popularity is primarily accomplished by indoctrinating and exploiting vulnerably optimistic college students to carry out their plans. Being a contemporary themed church also is an intentional appeal to affluent young adults. College students and young adults make up Antioch's main target audience. Despite a heavy evangelical theology background and focus, Antioch instead claims to be non-denominational in order to make itself more appealing to college students they are attempting to recruit. The controversial movement became infamous after two of its overseas missionaries, Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer, were imprisoned by the Taliban in Afghanistan for illegal missionary work around the same time as the 9/11 attacks on the United States. Many believe it is a cult.
