In the past few days I’ve had some great conversations with individuals who have contacted me about possibly being involved with the launch of EPIC Church.  These people have a passion to reach this city and a heart to do whatever it takes.  They are not seeking a position but rather an opportunity to bring people to faith.  How exciting!

Now make no mistake, we’re targeting pre-churched and de-churched people in the east KC metro, but in order to launch we need people who share that vision.  I’ll be sharing more of the values and strategy of EPIC Church over the next few weeks and months.  In the meantime, we’re praying for God to bring together the best possible launch team.  

If you’re interested in the possibility of joining the EPIC launch team then here’s the short list of qualifications:

1. We need people to join the team who have a commitment to God’s Word, a heart to serve and a passion to pioneer.  

2. We’re praying for people who value a church culture with a casual atmosphere and creative approach to ministry.  

3. We need team players committed to the greatest cause in the world, which is the advancement of God’s church!

Please remember that EPIC Church will look very different to most Christians, but that’s not our target audience.  Jesus came to seek and save that which is lost!  At EPIC we want to live out that mission statement.  So if you live in the KC metro and your heart resonates with this new church then contact me via the email link on this page.  We can talk, pray and see what happens.  

However, before contacting me please read the following disclaimer:

1. We’re not looking for church hopping Christians!  If you can’t plug in at a church because you haven’t found the perfect church then let me save you some time.  We’re not perfect so mark us off of your list.  I’m serious!

2. We’re not looking for granola bar Christians!  Granola is made up of fruits, nuts and flakes.  We’re not interested.  We’re trying to reach people that are far from God and to be quite honest we do not want to push them farther away.  Weird in the name of God is still weird!

3. We’re not looking for disgruntled Christians!  If you are mad at your current or previous pastor/church then please don’t expect us to take your side (or even listen to your side).  We have more important things to do then to pacify whiny Christians.  Make it right and move on!

4. We’re not looking for trendy Christians!  We’re not trying to create a new church fad that attracts all kinds of Christians that are bored with their current churches.  We value and respect all kinds of church models and philosophies.  If you like getting on board with new church trends then you’ll find yourself in the wrong place!

5. We’re not looking for fix it Christians!  Please don’t come if you feel the need to fix pastors, ministries and churches.  You won’t enjoy it here and we won’t enjoy having you.  God’s vision for EPIC Church is not broken so please take your toolbox somewhere else!

Wow.  Some of that may have sounded harsh, but it comes from a heart to reach people.  We take this kingdom thing seriously.  So if you read the previous disclaimer and you are still interested then email me.  

More updates soon so keep checking back…
