Easter 2024
Welcome
Welcome to Epiphany!
Marina is a city at the crossroads of our county and one of the most diverse cities in the nation. The opportunity to meet so many people, from so many places adds adventure and fun to our community. As one of your neighbors, we would like to take a moment to introduce our special community within Marina - Epiphany Lutheran & Episcopal Church.
We are a true blend. Diversity for us is more than a culture or ethnicity. It is the way of our faith life. With Lutheran (ELCA) and Episcopal Churches coming together under one roof, we truly express diversity in our walk of faith.
We do not always see the world through the same eyes of experience, so we search and celebrate the faith touchstones that can bring us to a commonplace experience. Our Sunday Worship and experience is a blend of historical traditions, worldwide community, contemporary music, as well as prayer and fellowship of other sojourners; all with a focus on the integrity of our blended community.
What will you see at Epiphany? Our average Sunday worship is about 45 people, in a small chapel (Church membership is over 120 and growing. But, not everyone comes every Sunday). However, the chapel is still large enough, that if you want to be quietly unnoticed and check things out, you can. Music that is contemporary (not Praise), with a choir that will amaze you. We do not seek perfection in the worship, we celebrate our gifts. Some people dress casual and some in their Sunday best. You will see a community dedicated to community service and making our world a better place. We strive for excellent preaching every Sunday (We realize that even the preacher can not reach perfection every Sunday). However everyone will welcome you, and we can promise that you can be you; the whole you!
Our Vision
