Fueling the future with gospel impact
At the start of 2025..
we celebrated our faithful God for all He has done over the last 20 years. That service was a powerful reminder of His goodness and a launch point for something new—IMPACT—created as a special offering of gratitude.
As we prayed and discerned together, it became clear that Impact was not meant to be a one-time gift, but a long-term opportunity to advance our mission. It has now grown into a two-year strategic initiative to move our vision forward in ways our regular budget simply cannot.
We are deeply thankful
that God has provided steady growth in our general giving over the past few years. By His grace, this allows us to continue our weekly ministry—where hundreds of children, students, and adults are equipped and encouraged to trust in Jesus, become like Jesus, and do as Jesus did.
But here’s the reality: our general giving covers current ministry, yet it doesn’t stretch far enough to plant new churches, maintain aging facilities, or create unique opportunities for spiritual growth. That’s where IMPACT comes in.
The joy of faithful giving comes before the ability to give above and beyond. If you are not yet part of the faithful generosity that happens through recurring giving each month, we highly encourage you to start here.
Through IMPACT, we are investing in three key areas:
People
Supporting church plants
Epikos itself was planted, and we’ve been blessed by church planting ever since. The need is greater than ever, which is why our first church planter to support is our former Mayfair Road Campus Pastor, Frank Gil, as he and his wife, Cori, plant a church in their hometown of Tampa, FL.
Places
Restoring & revitalizing our facilities
We love that God takes the broken and makes it beautiful, and our old buildings reflect that story. But old buildings require care. Our top priority is finishing the kids’ space at Mayfair Road—where the highest concentration of kids across Epikos gather each week. Right now, they’re still meeting in outdated, bland, asbestos-floor rooms. We want to provide a more welcoming space that honors our kids and the families God will bring in the future.
Programs
Spiritual growth opportunities
These are the “above and beyond” moments that help our people grow deeper in Christ. In 2027, we plan to read through the Bible in a year and invite scholars to teach on pressing biblical issues. We also want to host events for singles and couples, and other unique gatherings that equip our people for life and mission.
Our ability to impact our church & community will be dependent on what comes in
Below are three tiers to illustrate what we hope to accomplish
