There aren't enough words to describe how awesome -- and life-changing -- it has been attending…read moreEpic Church and, more importantly, getting involved with so many awesome men and women of God. I hoped and prayed my husband would find a church in the Buffalo area once we moved here and am so thankful God spoke to our hearts and said "This one." (Lol.) Don't be fooled by the location: Epic Church meets at a movie theater (I actually think that's awesome), but knows how to get down. If you love a strong message that's practical, filled with the Word of God, and has some humor and casual moments, this place is for you. Even if that's not your cup of tea, this place is still for you. Pastor Mark Rouse is a great preacher who doesn't spend two hours delivering a sermon (I love passionate pastors, but mama the Fruit of the Spirit leaves me when I'm hangry), but takes his time to break things down. Even though he spends 20-30 mins preaching -- which might not feel like a ton of time -- it's food for the soul that will nourish you beyond service. The majority of his sermons follow a series, and Epic provides attendees with notes you can collect, study, and go over. The sermons are also online for convenience. Another thing I love about Epic is the childcare. Unlike other churches I've been to, where kids might color and learn something about Noah and the Ark, there are lesson plans (yes, lesson plans) for the preschool and elementary age classes. (Kids are just too small in the nursery to care.) I serve on the kids' team and am constantly amazed at the thought and preparation that goes into the lessons each and every week. In addition to play time (coloring, etc.), children are leaning about Jesus, God's grace, and characters in the Bible in a fun and interactive way. Plus, there's always some craft to take home to parents. Epic Church also believes in community, both local and afar. They have outreach programs that include providing donations for nearby families in need, working with organizations (there are some great contacts to serve incoming refugees), and mission trips abroad. There are also small groups throughout the year (outreach is a focus area, for example) for your to meet new people who share similar interests. This is more than just an ordinary church that you say you attend on Sundays. It's a resource to strengthen your walk with God and challenges you to serve others. As I always say: don't talked about it, be about it -- and my how Epic does this. In case you can't tell, I really like it.

Evidence stronger than his voice and face and footstep waited to grow in them, to guide their groping from despair, their stretching toward belief." -from a poem by Lucy Steele ************************** I wandered in to this church one Sunday morning a number of winters ago. Immediately I was overwhelmed by the warmth of the place. To the untrained eye, this could be attributed to any number of things. I know now it's nothing less than God's presence seeping through a hundred different small places all at once. In the music, in the friendliness of the people, in the poetry and Scripture that was read. The poem above was shared that Sunday and I still remember it all these years later. It had a heartfelt impact on me. It was sweet, before the message, a young woman gave a slam poem about Buffalo that was very charming and full of life. My friend Angela, who is very outgoing, befriended a bunch of the young people and invited them over to my apartment for lunch afterwards. At least five people came and the next Sunday, around eight came. All of those people are still friends to this day. It was a very beautiful moment in my life especially because it was a time when I was praying specifically that God would help bring community into my life. I'm super thankful for that! Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead and is still alive. They believe Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to fill and empower people to be like Jesus was when he was on earth. This church definitely believes that and the people are really faithful to live out that faith in ways that are pretty simple, straightforward and creative. Most of the church is in their 20s and falls into the Elmwood Village crowd. They all really love Jesus and really love people. And that's what Christians are supposed to do so I would say this is a really great church. I wouldn't be surprised if you have seen or will see in the future people with Village Church shirts walking around the neighborhood involved in different things. It's really cool to see a church full of young people passionate about getting involved in the community in so many ways!

For stairs you can visit the museum and learn about Fr Baker ( and his journey to sainthood) or visit the gift shop and pick up some religious medals or other items, even purchase an empty bottle to fill with holy winter from several of the urns.
