👋 About Epic

We think church should be fun, meaningful, and make a difference in your life. Our name, Epic, represents our vision: to see every person in the city know Jesus. We’re a growing, multi-site, non-denominational church with 4 locations in the Philadelphia area (online + 3 in-person). We place a high value on creativity, digital ministry, and community. We are #ForPhilly and fully committed to loving our city well. 

💪 Our Culture

We believe that the mission of the church is worth dedicating our lives to. We have a heart for the unchurched and work hard to ensure Epic is “Something Different.” Our team is made up of Central Staff, Location Staff, Volunteer Leaders & Team Members. We bring our best to everything we do.

Heart & Hustle

We put Jesus first in every area of life. Our team places a priority on spiritual growth and participating in the life of the church. We give generously, serve enthusiastically, love practically, and care authentically for people, because that’s what Jesus does for us. We do ministry from an overflow of what Jesus is doing in our lives. We really care about staff families: spouses and children. If you’re not winning at home, you’re not winning at Epic.

Our team culture is important to us. We place a high value on trust, communication, evaluation, and celebration. We believe that leaders are learners and our team is always improving, researching, and growing in their craft. We are gritty, and always looking for ways to “make it better.” We use humor, practical teaching, and relatability to connect with people.

We definitely “work hard / play hard.” Whether it’s a spontaneous nerf gun battle or an ice cream run, we also intentionally have times for staff retreat, conferences, and building relationships and doing life together. Our lead pastor, Kent, always says, “I just want to work with my friends.” And that’s what our team does.

🔔 About Philly

Philadelphia is the 6th most populous city in the US, with about 1.6 million people. Rich in history, art, culture, and education, the city has something for everyone. After a long economic dry period, revitalization of the city began in the late 1990s, turning around many neighborhoods and reversing a decades-long trend of population loss. The city has evolved into an educational and economic hub.

There are a lot of ministry opportunities in Philly. Suburbs of Philly have been rated amongst the top places to live, with a lot of affluent neighborhoods and award winning school districts. However, Philadelphia is also the “poorest” of the largest U.S. cities, with 23 percent of residents living in poverty. The city faces challenges of violence and the opioid epidemic. We have a heart to be a light in the darkness for every person in the city.

Philadelphia’s economic sectors include education, information technology, manufacturing, oil refining, food processing, health care, biotechnology, tourism, and financial services. There is no shortage of quality dining experiences, beautiful parks, outdoor concerts and performances, sports events, and educational opportunities.

Known as a “city of neighborhoods,” housing options are vast and varied. Depending on your area, the average price of a 2,000 square foot home is $200,000-$400,000. Epic team members have the option of living in the city or living in suburban areas – which can be quite different – but preferences among families vary.
