Hello Epic Church Family & Guests,

As you know the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak continues to impact our lives. We want to come together as the church during this time to support one another and our community.

We have been notified by the school system that our use of Buddy Taylor Middle School for our primary location for Sunday services has been temporarily suspended for the month of April and until we receive further notification.

Updates from Epic – Therefore, we get to hit the reset button, so to speak, and really get to understand that the church is not a building, but the people. So, in light of being a virtual church over the next several weeks, we’ve taken steps to continue to stream a service, provide children’s lessons, engage students, give you relevant information, and continue doing groups! If you would like to stay connected with us and learn more about these things, then please sign up for our emails below so you don’t miss out on how we can continue to stay connected and be for Flagler during this time and beyond!

Streaming of Sunday Services – Please join us on Sundays as we stream the service to you at home at our normal service times of 8:30am, 10:00am, 11:30am, 1:00pm, 5;00pm, and 6:30pm. You can watch our services from our Website, Facebook, or YouTube account. If you tune in on our Facebook page during Sunday services, you’ll be greeted by our social media host and be able to interact with others.

Children & Students – If you have children and/or students, take this opportunity to help them each week to grow in their relationships with God. Who better to engage their hearts and initiate conversations about God than you!

Need Help? – If you are struggling and need to speak with someone or have a prayer request, we’d love to help. Please contact us at care@theepicchurch.com or share a prayer request.

So let’s continue to be a church for people who don’t do church! Please reach out to people in this time of isolation and encourage them by inviting them to watch our services online. Check-in with your elderly neighbors who might not be able to get things they need and help them secure those things. Thank people who are on the front lines in the medical profession, first responders, grocery stores, and pharmacies that have to face the public every day.

Thank you for being a part of Epic! Let’s continue to be the church and be For Flagler. God is for us and He will see us through!
