We organize our work into four primary mission areas: Inviting, Connecting, Belonging, and Caring. Our Supporting Teams build the foundation for these mission areas. Each area has a primary staff person who works with elected Ministry Leaders to equip the congregation to carry out the ministries. The Lead Pastor and the Governing Board oversee all the ministries to coordinate and communicate and multiply ministry. Our mission areas include:

Inviting: At Epworth we welcome ALL. We celebrate differences in ability, gender, gender-identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and social economic status as part of God’s diversity.

Belonging: Every person has a need to belong, to feel cared for and valued for who they are, and to have a community of support and encouragement to grow in their love for God and neighbor.

Connecting: Worship connects us to God, to each other, and to our community. Epworth offers a variety of styles and services to deepen these connections and heal our hearts.

Caring: Once we have experienced God’s love and the embrace of our community, we put our faith in action by caring for others, both within our congregation and within the wider community.
