Epiphany Lutheran Church began as a mission church in 1959. The first worship service was held July 12, 1959, at Dr. John Hole School, with 73 persons in attendance. The first church building was dedicated in 1961. In 1967, an education unit was added, and in 1978, a new sanctuary was dedicated. In 1991, with 1650 baptized members, in order to meet the needs of the congregation, a new and renovated facility was dedicated including sanctuary, child care center, Sunday school classrooms, kitchen, fellowship hall, and mini-gym. In addition, the parking lot was nearly doubled in size, with designated spaces for handicapped and senior persons. Now, with almost 2,500 members and starting a new building program, Epiphany moves into the 21st century eager to serve church and community with the love of Christ. |
