    EPOCH


    Epoch is a church-based process for deploying everyday Christ followers to live a life among specific people and places in their communities that reflect the image of Christ. They will use the skills and approaches of a missionary to make disciples and establish relationship-based faith communities. At the heart of the Epoch process are eight components for intentional disciple-making aimed at networking for evangelism, gathering lost/unchurched people into communities of faith (small groups), and raising up leaders from the harvest.
