provides many opportunities for Adults to learn and develop spiritually. Below are programs available to adults of all ages and interests. Individuals interested in music should see the Music and Arts page.

Small Group Ministry


 

Sunday Forum
Epiphany's Sunday session for adults is an open forum where all people can speak their minds on the topic at hand. The round-table discussion is led by a facilitator/moderator. The discussions center around topics of interest garnered from various sources, including topics suggested by forum participants. We periodically have guest speakers and guest resource personnel to contribute to particular topics under discussion. At Epiphany, we understand that people have different understandings about the Bible and about the Christian faith. By sharing our personal knowledge, feelings, points of view, personal concerns, pet peeves, etc., it is our intent to stimulate thought and personal spiritual growth in an atmosphere of acceptance, love, and respect for others' points of view - especially when they differ from our own. Adults of all ages are welcome.

On December 3, we will begin a new study, led by Joy Robinson,  entitled the Four Dimensional Jesus,  a comparison study of Jesus according to the four Gospels .  Come and join us at 9:15 each Sunday.

ALPHA
A basic introduction to the beliefs of the Christian Faith, Alpha is a study for individuals at all stages of their spiritual journey.  Each session begins with a simple meal for the participants and the weekly theme is introduced by a video taped “talk.”  A small group discussion will follow the talk.  Adults of all ages are welcome. For more information about this internationally known study, please check out this Alpha link.

Questions explored:
What is the meaning of life?
What happens when we die?
What relevance does Jesus have for our lives?
How do we deal with guilt?

Alpha is for:
Anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian faith
Learning and laughter; it is possible to learn about the Christian
     faith and have fun at the same time.
People meeting together. An opportunity to get to know others and
     make new friends.
Helping one another.  The small groups give you a
    chance to discuss issues raised during the talks.
Asking anything. ALPHA is a place where no question is seen as
     too simple or too hostile.

Who is ALPHA for?
ALPHA is for everyone. It is especially geared to:
People interested in investigating Christianity.
Newcomers to the church.
New Christians.
Couples preparing for marriage.
Christians who want to brush up on the basics.

What Happens at ALPHA?
There is a series of discussions on topics such as:
Who is Jesus?
Why did Jesus die?
Why and how should I read the Bible?
Who is the Holy Spirit?
How can I resist evil?
Why and how should I tell others?
Does God heal today?
What about the church?

When and Where?
  Another session will be offered in 2012

Growth Groups/Small Group Ministry
Our small group ministry consists of our Growth Groups which are lay-led small groups that meet bimonthly in homes.

A new offering of Growth Groups will begin in late September/early October.  Reagan LaFleur will lead  a Study of the book of Matthew and Phyllis Lewis will lead a Growth Group on the Women of the Bible. Call the church office (803-324-8877) to register for either group or to get more information.

A new spirituality group, Holy Adventures, will be led by Pastor Lingle beginning in late September.  This group will meet every 4 - 6 weeks with reading, specific activities, and one-on-one visits occurring during the group gatherings.  Contact Pastor Lingle at epiphany@comporium.net to register or for more information.

O-T-D Group
(Other Than Decrepit)
For the more mature members and friends, this group meets once a month for study and fellowship to discuss all topics of interests.

Hallowed Hands
Hallowed Hands join in devotion and prayer to send words of faith, hope, and love acknowledging concerns of our congregational family, and words of celebration, acknowledging our joys.  Through written notes and prayer, we will reach to touch those who share our walk with Christ.

Each quarter, "Epiphany 101" - a three-session class on the organization and ministry of our congregation is led by Pastor Lingle. This class is for those who want to learn more about who we are at Epiphany - our mission, vision, and values - and how we are organized to minister to one another and to the community.  We have recently completed an Epiphany 101 session.  Look for our next one to begin in January, 2012.
