re:vive

And it will be said: "Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people." For this is what the high and exalted One says -- he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with those who are contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite." Isaiah 57:14-16

 
 
 
 

EPIC

EPIC: Empowering People, Inspiring Change

Veritas provided the language. EPIC provides the how-to. As a follow-up workshop to Veritas, EPIC talks about the spirituality, chemistry and strategy of leading healthy missional change, and equips leaders with the necessary tools.

EPIC also explores the inner life of the leader and how to be a non-anxious presence while leading through the turbulent waters of change.

Many pastors and lay leaders lead change from the seat of their pants. EPIC helps us to think through the process of change sequentially from beginning to end.

EPIC does not tell churches what to change, but how to change… and how to change in a way that is civil, compassionate, and Christ-honoring.

EPIC UPDATE!
A DVD version of EPIC is in the works. We anticipate having DVD binders available for order through the Covenant Bookstore in the late fall, in a similar manner as the Veritas DVD.

..

EPIC is for clergy and laity, and is usually taught on a Saturday from 9:00 am - 3:30 pm.
Attending a Veritas event or watching the Veritas DVD is a prerequisite to attending EPIC.

This workshop is taught by Dr. John S. Wenrich,
Director of Congregational Vitality
for the Evangelical Covenant Church.
