Epicenter (rebooted)

Meet Bi-monthly:
-The 1st, 3rd (and 5th in August & November) Friday of every month
-10:00 p.m. as to not interfere with work and school responsibilities
-Less strain on leaders and participants
-Allows for greater personal Sunday School/Church involvement

Self-Sustaining:
-Speakers and worship leaders will be provided by Epicenter participants rather than guests.
-This will foster a greater familiarity between the leaders and participants.
-Encourage others to exercise their gifts in a comfortable atmosphere.
-Foster a greater sense of ownership for those involved.

More Intimate:
-Acoustic type worship.
-Less intimidating and more intimate feel for the event.
-Greater freedom to change the set up or location.
-Meet in the Sunday School Trailer rather than gym.

Not just another church service:
-Not bound by a specific order or type of worship.
-Freedom given to speaker and worship leader to lead the service however they feel led. (As adults we should be mature enough to handle this responsibility)
-Freedom to have a night of worship through music, testimony time, address current events, have large group, small group, or personal prayer services, etc..

Relationship with other ministries:
-Compliment and encourage Sunday School and Church activities
-Few to no Epicenter sponsored events (Epicenter is an event of Faith Baptist’s young adult ministry)
-Encourage others to share ministry opportunities in their Sunday schools and church.
-Encourage greater fellowship, communication, and cooperation between Sunday schools
