WELCOME We’re so glad you’re here today. If this is your first time here, please fill out a Connect Card and visit the welcome desk to pick up a gift from us.
OUR NAME: An epic story is a grand story and often, at the center of epic stories is a hero. We believe that the Bible tells THE epic story with Jesus, who died for our sins and rose from the dead, at the center. We want to help you discover your place in God’s story.
OUR MISSION: To multiply disciples who live in God’s story for the glory of God and for the sake of the neighborhood and nations.
CONNECT WITH US: Fill out the Connect Card on your Church Center app.
COMMUNITY GROUPS: One of the most important factors in shaping you and the direction of your life is your community. Most of our groups are on break for the summer but will resume in the fall. More info on our website.

***SERVICE DETAILS***
Communion/The Lord’s Supper: Every week, we celebrate communion together. This weekly observance is done in obedience to Jesus' command as a way to visibly remind us of Jesus' death for our sins. The bread represents Jesus' body and the juice represents His blood. When celebrated in genuine faith, the Lord's Supper nourishes us spiritually. We invite any who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ to join us. We will have a time of prayer and self-examination before we eat and drink. Communion can be found on the table by the worship area doors.
•Offering/Connect Cards: There are black boxes in the back of the room and the lobby where you can place your Connect Cards or offerings. You can also complete Connect Cards and Give via the Church Center App.
Giving: An important part of worship is giving. Jesus told us that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). Our heart naturally follows where we put our money. We encourage people to follow the biblical pattern of giving the first of what you make to the Lord for ministry purposes. When you give to EPIC, your money supports missions work around the world, numerous ministries, carefor the poor, and operational costs. Thank you for your generosity!
