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.
God accepts all of us and where we are at on our spiritual journey.
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.
God designed us to live in real connection with others.
Real, transparent relationships are what help us grow the most.
Jesus came to serve – not to be served and we should follow His example.

Jesus came to serve – not to be served and we should follow His example.
God is real. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and in charge of all things. He exists in Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He 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 Jesus, who died for our sins, rose from the dead, and is coming back again. Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Heaven is real. Hell is real. Angels and demons – including Satan – are real. The Holy Spirit lives in every Christ-follower, and empowers us to live for God and serve others for Him. 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.
God
We believe in One God who eternally exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Bible
We believe the Bible is inspired by God, without error, and given to teach us the best way to live.
Humans
We believe all humans need to be restored to a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Restoration
We believe there is only one way to be restored to God and have an eternal relationship with Him: through belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, His sacrifice for our sins on the cross, and His resurrection from the grave.
Eternal Security
We believe once someone has been restored to God through Jesus they are secure in that restoration for all of eternity.
Church
We believe God’s plan for restoring the world to Himself is to use the local churches gathered together as the global Church worldwide.
Satan
We believe that Satan is the enemy of God. He is a real being who is doing everything in his limited power to prevent people from being restored to God.
Eternity
We believe in a literal heaven and hell as the only two options where people will spend their eternity.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
