Our Mission:

To restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.

Our Vision:

Inviting relationship. Connecting in Hope. Growing in Faith. Serving in Love.

 
 

We envision a church in which relationship, faith, hope, and love form who we are as followers of Jesus Christ. 

At Church of the Epiphany, we share the Good News of Jesus Christ by inviting relationship, connecting in hope, growing in faith, and serving in love.

 

Inviting Relationship

Invitation is the starting point of any relationship and is the foundation upon which relationships grow and transform us. At Church of the Epiphany, we invite relationship and commit ourselves to the work of becoming beloved community in which the broad diversity of humanity is celebrated.

 
 

Some of the ways you can invite relationship include:

  • Join a Sunday Lay Worship Ministry like being a reader, acolyte, Eucharistic minister, or greeter

  • Join the Courageous Ground TaskForce

  • Join the Stewardship Ministry of the parish

  • Join the Saturday Morning Buildings & Grounds Crew

  • Join the Invite-Welcome-Connect Ministry team

  • Host a small group ministry

 

Connecting in Hope

The ways we connect one to another often begin when we break bread together around Christ’s table, share a story, and practice loving our neighbor as an extension of the self. Church of the Epiphany connects in the hope that saves us and is expressed through the power of the Spirit in sighs too deep for words.

 
 

You’re invited to connect in hope by:

  • Joining or starting a Small Group Ministry

  • Join a Sunday Morning Coffee Hour Team

  • Join a pastoral care ministry like CareConnect or Community of Hope

  • Get trained as a Lay Eucharistic Visitor to take Holy Eucharist to the homebound and sick

  • Help grow a new community garden at Epiphany

 

Growing in Faith

Over time, we begin to ask new questions of our faith, and we begin to yearn for a new way of thinking about our faith in Jesus Christ. We desire to be a place in which we grow in faith according to where we are in our faith lives - from the newest of followers to lifelong disciples of Jesus.

 
 

Opportunities to grow in faith and to invite others to grow in faith include:

  • Joining any of our Sunday formation classes

  • Volunteer as a Sunday school teacher or as a youth mentor

  • Join Epiphany Youth for serious fun and fun discussions

  • Join the Wednesday Discipleship Group

  • Start or join a Bible study

  • Join or start a small group ministry

  • Participate in seasonal formation programs at Advent (4 weeks before Christmas) and Lent (40 days between Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday)

  • Go on a pilgrimage trip

 

Serving in Love.

We leave our places of worship with a hunger to see God’s love at work in the world. We share God’s love by going back to where we started: relationship. Through relationships with others in our community, we serve in love and celebrate the boundless love of God.
