EPIC
Empowering Pioneers for Impact and Change
Where Jesus Meets Justice.
Where Church Becomes Movement.
About the Program
Why EPIC, and Why Now?
EPIC is a leadership and discipleship experience created for pastors, ministers, and church leaders committed to leading at the intersection of Jesus and justice.
As DEI is dismantled, communities of color are under attack, and Christian relevance is increasingly questioned, we believe the Black church must reclaim its role—not just as a sanctuary, but as a strategy for community transformation.
EPIC offers a space to learn, unlearn, build, and activate biblically rooted leadership rooted in cultural competency, equity, advocacy, and bold love.
