CONNECT 2021 is the perfect opportunity to jump into a serving role at Epic. As we welcome more people home this fall, we need more volunteers so that we can serve them well.
THE
WHY
Every year, as Summer rolls into Fall, there is a natural homecoming that happens in our church. People are excited about getting back into the rhythm and balance of life and this year - rhythm and balance seem to be more desirable than ever before.
We simply want to make Epic a place where people feel welcome, safe, and connected. Part of that is ensuring we have enough volunteers to serve the new guests that are coming home.
The goal of CONNECT 2021 is to connect and re-connect people to serving, so we can then connect and re-connect guests to the family.
THE
HOW
We will pray and fast with specific people in mind - and our hope is that we have the opportunity to welcome them home.
We will:
- IDENTIFY those who desire to serve,
- INVITE them to join a serving team,
- INVEST in them through training, and
- EMPOWER them to serve in their fullest potential...
so that new and returning guests feel as connected as we all did the first time we walked through the Epic doors.
JULY 5 - 25
21 DAYS OF PRAYER + FASTING
We will pray and fast specifically for people to get connected to
attending services, attending small groups, as well as serving both.
Our Decatur Campus will be open every Wednesday
from 12p - 1p CST for prayer and worship.
POINTS OF PRAYER
We pray that everyone who calls Epic Church home
feels comfortable and confident to rediscover the
importance of church to their healthy life rhythm.
We pray that everyone who calls Epic Church home
feels a desire to get connected or re-connected
through small groups and serving teams.
We pray that God sends an influx of new family
members to Epic Church who are disconnected
and searching for a place to connect and call home.

SEPTEMBER 19
"WELCOME HOME WEEKEND"
Every year, during the month of September, many people finally settle back into their normal family routines following vacations and the Summer break. We know this is a time where people look to the church once again for community and connection. Welcome Home Weekend is a weekend where our focus is just that... welcoming you home.
SERVE WITH EPIC
We believe you were created with gifts that can make a difference in people's lives. In fact, it takes each and every one of us to reach our communities and change the world. Take a look at how many new volunteers we need at each Epic campus!
