Why EPIC?

There are two reasons that we are called EPIC Community Church.  First, an epic story is a grand story centered on a heroic figure. We believe that the greatest story ever told is in the Bible. It is a story of how God, the ultimate hero, saves and restores the world. He does this through Jesus, who died on a cross to pay for our sins and rose three days later. This story shapes our beliefs, our lives, and our mission. This story is everything to us because in it we encounter God, become part of a community, and experience transformation.  We want to be a community formed around this story.

Second, we want the word “epic” to be descriptive of who we are and what we are doing as a church.  When you say something is epic, what do you mean?  Usually, people are referring to something that is big and grand.  For something to be epic, it can’t be ordinary; it has to be big, unique, fresh, and inspiring.  EPIC Community Church is starting with the knowledge that most people would not use this word to describe the church’s services, effect on communities, or the difference that it makes in people’s lives on a daily basis.  Many people have left the church because they don’t see the difference that it makes.  So, we desire to be a church that is unique.  We are passionate about taking risks, trying new things, making the community a better place, investing our lives in others, and living for something bigger than ourselves, namely God’s mission and fame.  We encourage you to join the journey with us!
