ABOUT US

We are a church for people who don’t do church. Whether you believe what we do or not, no matter your religious background or lack thereof, we want this to be a safe place for you to explore the teachings of Jesus. It also means we are more interested in being the church in our community than just attending church.

Our Story

WHAT WE VALUE

Acceptance

God accepts all of us and where we are at on our spiritual journey.

Life-change

Even though God accepts where we are at on our spiritual journey, He doesn’t leave us there. He wants to transform all of us to be more like Jesus.

Connection

God designed us to live in real connection with others.

Authenticity

Real, transparent relationships are what help us grow the most.

Serving

Jesus came to serve – not to be served and we should follow His example.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Short Version

God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and in charge of all things. He exists in a Trinity relationship: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God created everything and everyone, and every person matters deeply to Him. Everyone has sinned, and that sin separates all of us from God, so everyone needs a relationship with Jesus, Who died for our sins, rose from the dead, and is coming back again. Salvation is by grace through faith alone in Christ alone.



Everyone will live forever somewhere. Either in heaven with God or in hell apart from God. Angels and demons – including Satan – are real enemies of God and all humanity. The Holy Spirit lives in every Christ-follower and empowers us to live a Christ-centered life. The Bible is God’s Word to us, and it is true, powerful, and relevant to us today. Baptism is when a Christ-follower is immersed under water, and is not an act of salvation, but a way for us to tell the world that we follow Jesus.

The Detailed Version

The Bible

We believe the Bible is God’s word, inspired, without error, and our final authority for life.


The Trinity

We believe in one Godhead Who exists in three Persons – God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Each are co-equal in their Godhead and yet different in role and function.


Jesus

We believe Jesus is God the Son Who lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay for our sins, rose from the dead, ascended back to heaven and will return again one day soon.



Holy Spirit

We believe God the Holy Spirit lives in all believers from the point of conversion.

His job is to guide, empower, convict, teach, remind and transform us to live like Christ.


People

We believe all people are created in God’s image but are separated from Him by sin and need salvation. We believe God loves all people and wants everyone to be saved.


Salvation / Eternal Security

We believe we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We also believe once someone has put their faith in Jesus, they are eternally secure in that relationship.


Baptism

We believe baptism is a one time public declaration that someone has put their faith in Jesus Christ. It is something God wants all Christ-followers to do but is not part of salvation.


Christian Living

We believe followers of Jesus are called to live surrendered lives, grow in obedience to God’s Word and become more like Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.


Satan

We believe Satan is a fallen angel who will do everything in his limited power to prevent people from putting their faith in Jesus or being effective as Christ-followers after they do.


The Church

We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to love God, love people and go into all the world to lead others into a lifechanging relationship with Jesus.


Eternity

We believe that everyone will live forever somewhere. Either in heaven with God or apart from God in hell.

EPIC’S 5G LIFE

The 5G Life is our spiritual growth process that helps us grow our relationship with God and others. These 5Gs are things we see Jesus doing consistently in the Bible to teach us how to grow spiritually.
GOD

wants a relationship with each of us.


One of the things Jesus modeled so well was how to have a strong relationship with God the Father. He spent large amounts of time growing that relationship. So,God should be the center of our lives. And the crazy thing is God wants a real, personal, growing relationship with each of us and wants that relationship to impact everything we do.

GATHER

to learn the teachings of Jesus.


Jesus consistently gathered people together to teach them how to live in a real relationship with God. And applying His teachings is what transforms our lives. So we want everyone to gather in one of our Epic worship environments (on campus / online) to hear the teachings of Jesus and how those teachings can impact us.

GROW

with God and others in community.


At Epic, we believe we grow our relationship with God and others best through groups. Jesus did life with His small group of disciples and transformed the world through them. We offer community groups and short-term spiritual growth groups that help us learn to do life together, to talk and listen to God, read the Bible, apply what we are learning, serve like Jesus, and share our faith.

GIVE

of our time, talents, and treasures.


Since God is a generous giver, He wants us to learn to give like He does. God wants us to give of our time, talents, and treasures to help lead more people into a life-changing relationship with Jesus. Through giving, we learn that all we have is God’s and we learn what Jesus meant when He said it is better to give than receive.

GO

tell everyone about Jesus.


In Matthew 28, Jesus commanded His followers to go into all the world and tell people about Him. Its only when we introduce people to Jesus that they can be transformed by Him for all eternity. So, everywhere we go, we should tell people about Jesus with our life and words.
