Here is an update from our friends at Epic Life Church as they launch into new ministry in North Seattle. 


Thanks for watching and praying for them.  Pray also that a trip out to visit this next summer would be possible.

Dear Friends and Partners,

We want to first and foremost ask you to praise God with us for the kick-off of Epic Life Church!  God has been so faithful and we have seen His hand guiding us so steadily throughout the past year.  Here is an excerpt from Keith's blog outlining the day's events:

Three years ago God tugged on my heart to leave a very secure and exciting college pastorate and move to Seattle to start a church. This past Sunday, after three years of listening to and following after God, Epic Life Church was officially opened.  And it was awesome!

We began the morning pulling the trailer to the theater and starting to set up a half hour late at 7:30am, but things started coming together and we broke at 9 am to pray and asked God to give us peace and let us enjoy the morning, no matter what happens.

Ten sandwich boards and an eight foot banner set out on the streets and outside the theater and then with the lights down on the house, lights up on the stage and a great atmosphere creating screen behind, D-Vic and the band cranked up the amps and worship ensued with 110 people in the main auditorium and twenty some kids in the children's theater. The worship music ended with a hiphop hymn and Nathan rapping to bring it home. It was sweet.

I spoke on John 1:1, The Word/Logos with painted black boxes with white letters painted on them, "LOGOS" and explained the Epic Life vision and what God is doing in North Seattle and on Aurora.
We ended out with David's own song, Your Words.  Then it was off to talk to people and encourage them and answer questions.  It was excellent!

By 12:30 pm we had the trailer packed back up and exited the theater clean and ready for the next movie.
Later that night we met to celebrate at our home with ample celebratory ice cream and toppings.
Thank you God for letting us be in the midst of your Story here in North Seattle.

As a church body, we are so excited to see the plans that He will continue to have in store.  Please keep reading below for specific prayer requests and continue to support us through your finances, advocacy and prayer.  We have seen the greatness of the One and Only.  He is so worthy of our praise.

Live Strong, Live Epic.

EPIC PRAYER

There has been so many seasons we have encountered as a church body.  As the Lord brings us to your mind in the coming weeks, please accept that as a reminder to pray for the growth and development of Christ's Bride in Seattle.  Here are some specifics to guide prayers: - Pray for Keith as he begins to more fully understand the role of Lead Pastor of a developing church. - Pray for God's provision as we begin to discover the joys and concerns of administering a property and a school. - Pray for the Core Group of Epic Life.  We have wonderful volunteers.  Pray for unity, growth and joy as we lean on them for the setup of Corporate Worship each week. - Pray for volunteers of the Children's and Youth ministries as they begin developing relationships with families and teaching the children about Christ.
