Our Mission

At Epiphany we seek to be a welcoming place where people of all ages can come to deepen their relationship with God. We hope to lay a foundation of faith which will sustain children through adolescence and into adulthood.

Guiding Principles

There are five underlying themes that we wish to share.

  • God loves you unconditionally and always.
  • God is with you at all times.
  • God wants you to recognize God in others.
  • God blesses you with special gifts and talents.
  • God empowers you to use your gifts to further His Kingdom.

How Can I be Involved?

We have a team of dedicated catechists and volunteers from the congregation who guide the children in their journey of faith. We welcome people to become involved, and we especially need people to support the nursery age children

Registration

Registration forms are available at the church office. For more information contact Laurie Burns, Children's Formation.


Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd has been described as a meeting place of two mysteries: the mystery of God, and the mystery of the children.

This program is highly child-centered and allows children to enter into a relationship with God in their own ways, and in their own time. We meet in the atrium, a quiet, focused place - more like a children’s chapel than a classroom. Everything in the atrium is designed with simplicity, beauty, and dignity, and all items are child-sized.

Adult Formation

We are happy to be able to share programs that help adults to examine their faith and the human condition, deepening their connection to God and each other.

a grief shared

While we are capable of experiencing joy and meaning in our lifetime, we are not always prepared to face the trauma of profound loss. We discover - all too quickly - that we cannot bear the pain of our grief alone. The process of sharing our grief fosters hope and healing and connects those whose experiences are profoundly shared with others. Wherever and however you are experiencing grief - the death of a loved one, the loss of hope, the fear of the unknown - we invite you to come and share your story in a safe and supportive space.
