Epiphany supports many active and committed ministries, both within and
outside our congregation. The following is just a sample of our
efforts to serve in Christ's name.
 | Service to Our Global Community
 | We maintain dedicated partnerships with several
international churches. Pastors and members of Epiphany
regularly visit our partners, just as we joyfully receive visits each year from
leaders and members of these churches. Our partner congregations include:
 | Vladivostok, Russia |
| Pritzier, Dabel, and Gotha, Germany |
| Tanzania |
|
| We also have partnerships with All People's Gathering in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, and Mt. Enon Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio, to foster interracial dialogues and understanding. |
|
| Service to Our Local Community
| Throughout our community, Epiphany
members reach out to serve and share. We invite the community to
join with us in our Vacation Bible School, Support
Groups, and theatrical & musical performances,
to name a few. |
| We also
serve the community through a myriad of outreach programs.
|
Our Food
& Clothing Pantry collects and
distributes thousands of food, clothing, and other household items each
year to families in the Dayton community. In
1999, we clothed more than 1450 children and 270 adults and provided
food and household goods to more than 700 families! |
|
The Dayton Vineyard Project
pairs faith communities of different racial and cultural
backgrounds to share experiences, learn more about each other, and
promote God's plan for one unified church. |
|
Epiphany has joyfully partnered with
Habitat for Humanity
for many years. Through this valuable program, our
members build homes for qualifying families in the Miami Valley,
often in
concert with other area churches. |
|
The Interfaith Hospitality Network
(IHN) allows
Epiphany to provide food and shelter for homeless families in the
south Dayton area throughout the year. |
|
Our Health
& Wellness Ministry hosts a variety of events,
including blood pressure screenings, seminars, and many
opportunities for sharing, caring, and fellowship. |

Our annual Adopt-A-Family program provides
gifts and food for the holidays to families in our community. In 1999, the program touched the lives of 65 local
families who needed a little extra help, including more than 250
children. |
|
| Epiphany also supports Wernle and Osterlen childrens'
homes and several Lutheran colleges and seminaries.
|
|
| Service to Our Members
| Even though we are a fairly large congregation, we show
God's love to one another through a number of ministries aimed at
providing support and Christian fellowship at a personal level to all of
our members. |
