People who visit EPIC, or even those who’ve been coming to EPIC for a long time, often ask the question, “What is EPIC? What does the name of our college ministry mean?”
Let me answer that question by telling you about one of my favorite childhood video games “Pitfall!”.
Pitfall was a game on Atari [this was pre-Nintendo] and in this game, you basically navigate a guy through a jungle and you win if you can get to the end of the jungle having avoided all the pitfalls [quicksand, fire, rolling logs, you know... jungle stuff]. It’s really fun - especially if you're like 8 years old.
Anyways, I feel like this video game kinda describes how many people live their lives on this earth. We’re all busy running somewhere hoping to get to the end of it all having avoided certain pitfalls, but when we get to the end, what do we end up with? Is our only prize that we arrived at the end of the jungle having survived? Is that it?
We at EPIC believe there’s so much more to life than just navigating your journey through the jungle of this world only to arrive safely and comfortably at the end of it all. EPIC means grand story and we recognize that all of our lives are a part of God’s story. We want to help people see who God is and how He’s working and be a part of that.
Welcome to our blog!
