Epic Church

Hidden within the vibrant tapestry of Philadelphia, Epic Church beckons. It’s more than just a building; it’s a story waiting to be told. Epic Church began in a movie theater in Manayunk in 2008. A small group dreamed of a church for everyone, not just “church people”. They envisioned a place where faith wasn’t just heard, but lived. Epic Church aimed to be a welcoming space for everyone to belong, contribute, and be transformed. The church’s journey from a Manayunk movie theater to multiple locations across Philadelphia is a testament to its growth and impact. Their vision is clear: to see every person in Philadelphia follow Jesus. They believe He holds the power to change hearts, a transformation they desire for everyone. Epic Church emphasizes that everyone matters. Visiting Epic Church is described as a welcoming experience. They encourage attendees to “come as you are,” regardless of their faith journey. The church offers live music, practical biblical teachings, and a friendly atmosphere. Services typically last 60-70 minutes. Epic Church is led by Pastor Kent Jacobs, who founded the church. He, his wife Tiffany, and their three children, Kayleigh, Koen, and Gabe, along with their dog Graham, are part of the Epic Church family. Epic Church’s core beliefs are rooted in essential Christian doctrines. They believe in one God existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They emphasize Jesus’ sinless life, sacrifice on the cross, and resurrection. They believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. They practice baptism as a public declaration of faith. They also believe in the Holy Spirit’s guidance and the eternal existence of heaven and hell. Beyond its core beliefs, Epic Church actively lives out its mission. They are involved in community outreach and strive to make a tangible difference in Philadelphia.
