~ Mission Statement Breakdown ~
Outsiders
Epiphany Station exists to reach outsiders with the life-transforming hope of Jesus Christ. In its broadest sense, outsiders are anyone who isnt here. We are always called to reach those outside of our church walls. Specifically, outsiders are unchurched or de-churched people who do not fit into the mainstream culture for a variety of reasons (socio-economic status, addiction issues, life situation, new to area, personal choice, etc.).
Thousands
Epiphany Station exists to reach thousands of people with the life-transforming hope of Jesus Christ. We believe that the best way to do this is through the planting of new indigenous churches throughout northern Minnesota, North Dakota, Canada, and the world.
Life-transforming hope of Jesus Christ
Epiphany Station exists to show Gods love to outsiders by putting them in the best possible position to be completely turned inside-out by the renewing work of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe God does His best work in an authentic community of faith that is relentless about:
Heartfelt Prayer
Epiphany Station exists to love God and make His love known by connecting our hearts to His by expressing adoration, giving thanks, confessing sins and interceding for the needs of others. We will strive to both model and offer prayer in all the gatherings of the church, whether official or unofficial.
Souled-out Worship
Epiphany Station exists to show our love for God and reflect His love for us by becoming passionate worshipers of God. We will celebrate Gods presence by magnifying the Lord with our whole being and exalting His name in all areas of life.
Mind-blowing Biblical Teaching
Epiphany Station exists to love God and make His love known by helping people no matter where they are on their spiritual journey take the next step in becoming fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. The authoritative guide for this journey is the Bible. We believe that the truth of Scripture taught in a relevant and practical manner will progressively transform peoples minds through the power of the Holy Spirit by changing the way they think and act. The Bible and its teachings will be the foundation and center of everything we do.
Sacrificial Service
Epiphany Station exists to demonstrate Gods love by serving others within our congregation, community, and world by meeting tangible needs, healing hurts, and relieving burdens in the name of Jesus Christ.
Radical Generosity
Epiphany Station exists to show our love for God by sharing His love with others by giving generously of our finances, time, talents and resources to help those in need, further Christs mission and vision for our church, and participate in Gods Kingdom Reign wherever He is at work.
Intentional Fellowship
Epiphany Station exists to love people by providing real Christian friendships that are characterized by genuine care and concern for the other. As Christ-followers we are called to belong to a local Body where we can share burdens, confess sins, be held accountable, and have fun.
Sent out
Epiphany Station exists to be a station, not a destination. We want to fuel people up and send them out to show Gods love to thousands more who will be transformed by the hope found only in Jesus Christ.
~ Comprehensive Vision Statement: 2015 ~
God is calling Epiphany Station to be a catalyst in the planting of
5 new churches consisting of 500 people who are impacting
5,000 lives by the year 2015.
Five new churches
We envision Epiphany Station being one church in a network of new churches that we will play a vital role in starting and supporting through finances, coaching, and/or other resources.
Five hundred people
We envision these five churches consisting of only 500 people because they are constantly fueling people up and sending them out on mission.
Five thousand lives
We envision these five churches of 500 people having a ripple effect that exponentially impacts lives all over the world. Admittedly, this will be hard to accurately measure, but often, we never truly know the impact weve made in someones life.
