EPIC Courses

Equipping People in Community (EPIC)

We recognize everyone is on a journey to become a fully-formed disciple of Jesus Christ. Whether you have just begun this journey or have been a Christian your whole life, we want to meet you where you are. Disciples are hand-crafted, not mass produced, and there is no one-size fits all strategy for discipleship.

We are thrilled to share that the second wave of Fall 2023 EPIC courses are here and registration is open--we have three courses starting Sunday, October 29. Please don’t delay. . . review the offerings below and click on the corresponding link to register for a great topic to equip you to be disciples that make disciples.

If you have been around the local church for few weeks or many years, you have heard words like stewardship, giving, offering, tithe, and generosity. So often these words are simply associated with money, but for God we are called to live a generous life as stewards of all God has provided and given. But what does that mean and look like practically speaking? If you are looking for clarity and want to have a better understanding about what it means to be a steward of all that God has given, then this is a course for you. We will examine what it means to be a steward and share practices with tools to help you live out your faith that will recalibrate your life. We will address question, “how do I wisely invest my life?”

Are you at a place in your life where you want to deepen your understanding and practice of prayer? Or do you feel like you aren’t experience God like you once did? Or has prayer become boring or tedious? But you have a growing sense there’s something you’ve yet to discover. In this course, we

will explore how to develop a life of prayer in this hurried, distraction filled, and noisy modern world. Prayer is simply the means through which we communicate and commune with God. The practice of prayer is learning to set aside dedicated time to intentionally be with God, in order to become like him and partner with him in the world. The ultimate aim is not to “pray more” or “pray better”. It’s what ancient Christians called union with God. It’s to live each day more and more aware of and deeply connected to our Father; to be transformed into the likeness of his Son, Jesus; and to be filled with the fullness of his Spirit, to do what he made you to do in the world.
