Mission, Vision & Values

Mission:

Connecting people to God, one person at a time! (Matthew 22:37-40, Mark 12:29-31, Luke 10:25-27)

Vision:

To hub and spoke church plants where churches are needed! (Acts 1:8, Acts 13:1-3)
(think tinker-toys. A “hub church” spokes out a new church which becomes it’s own entity and partners with the original hub to plant another church in Wichita, Kansas, and beyond)

Values (or 3C Christ Followers):

(We expect every Christfollower at Epic Church, in Wichita, KS to embody these three essentials to connecting with God in greater and greater depth)

  1. Celebrate (God’s goodness in our lives both at Sunday Worship Experiences & personally connecting with God)
  2. Connect (engage in biblical community – Connection Groups. This means sharing in each others lives, caring about the spiritual growth of others, etc.)
  3. Contribute (our time, talents and treasures to help others connect to God – ie. contributing in the children’s ministry on Sunday mornings.)

Organizational Principles:

  1. Simple (everything we do MUST be transmittable to a new church plant, which means it must be simple for it to work in the chaos of a new organization. ie. at Epic Church, we focus on Sunday mornings for kids right now (as a smaller church) instead of trying to have Sunday and Wednesday – this better honors those who contribute their time and allows us to focus on providing the best possible environment for our children!)
  2. Reproducible (If we are going to plant more churches, then everything we do at Epic must be designed with the idea that it is reproducible)
  3. Biblically Responsible (there is nothing more important to us than honoring God, you can bet your bottom dollar that we are going to be seeking the best way to do ministry in Wichita, KS to those who are disconnected from God, but we will never do this at the cost of misrepresenting God or His word)

(Everything we do as an organization must live up to these three standards – they are designed to ensure that we will be able to create an organization that can achieve the goal of planting more churches.)
