About
E.P.I.C.
Every Person In Christ
EPIC is a non-denominational, Christ-centered outreach ministry. We are Believers from many different backgrounds. We are passionate about reaching out to surfers, skaters, and radical folk with the Good News of Life in Jesus!
EPIC is not just for surfers!! While surf culture is our target nation, surfing is our all-access pass into lots of other spheres of influence. Surfing unlocks doors with kids and young adults anywhere and everywhere.
EPIC is a long-term outreach planted in Jax Beach; though we are stoked to go wherever God sends us.
Our Mission
To reach surf culture for Christ Jesus.
Our Vision
To equip the Body of Christ to reach surfers in a relevant way.
Our History
EPIC was born in 2001, though we met for years as part of an awesome surf ministry called 3FO. EPIC hit the ground running, starting weekly meetings, surf camps, surf contests, ministry conferences, and more by 2002! Praise God!
Our Core Values for Ministry
- FAITH
- PURITY
- PASSION
- PURPOSE
FAITH: Faith in Jesus yields eternal life. Without faith in Jesus, you're on your own on Judgment Day.
PURITY: We are to be holy, like our God is holy: we are IN this world, but not OF this world.
PASSION: Misplaced passion can lead us down the wrong road; passion for Jesus leads us to abundant life!
PURPOSE: We are called to serve Jesus with everything we've got; when we find our reason for being in Him, everything else lines up!
