Commitment

”A Committed Community of Disciples“

Testimony

We are committed to having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Scripturally, this relationship is not only initial, but also continual. In response, the committed are encouraged to share their testimony with Epoch’s leadership, as well as following Christ in scriptural baptism.

Training

We are committed to Biblical training through corporate worship and small groups.

Time

We are committed to being a church that serves through the giving of our time, both individually and corporately. Individually, we seek out ways to serve using the abilities and gifts God has given us. Corporately, we will plan out and implement opportunities to serve in downtown Little Rock, as well as other parts of our state, nation, and world.

Trust

We are committed to trusting God with our lives, as well as our resources. As cheerful givers, we willingly give of our firstfruits and offerings to the Lord.

Truth

We are committed to the truth that is Jesus Christ and His Word. We declare that the Bible, God’s Holy Word, is the source by which Epoch Church is led.

Core Values

Community

We believe that we are not meant to live life alone but rather within a community of believers. Epoch Church has been and will continue to be solely built on relationships through Christ. There are opportunities for this within our corporate gathering, small groups, girls and guys groups, or just simply spending time with one another throughout the week.

Authenticity

In order to have real intimacy within this community, we must be authentic about what is going on in our lives. This means talking about our struggles and allowing them to be brought to light so we can help each other deal with them. However difficult this may be, we know that only true community happens when we are transparent and allow the Lord to work in our lives.

Simplicity

One of the things you will first notice about Epoch is the simplicity of things. We strive to keep what we do simple. We believe that when we are truly living in an authentic Christ-centered community, building relationships and living life together, we are fulfilling many needs that another ministry would focus on. Our main three focuses are the corporate gathering, small groups, and missions.

Spiritual Formation

We believe experiencing and living out a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is the most important thing in a church. We believe that salvation is a process. so an ongoing, deep relationship with God must be a part of your life. All of our gatherings are focused on this and we strive to meet people where they are and help them continue their journey with the Lord.

Service

Our church loves to serve! We love getting our hands dirty and working for someone in need. We believe that the Lord has blessed us in so many ways that serving someone should be a nature overflow.

Cooperation

We desire to work with, not only other churches within downtown Little Rock, but other non-profit organizations as well. Though we may not have the funds to have our own homeless shelter, soup kitchen, etc., we do have a number of organizations we proudly work with to help meet those specific needs.

Diversity

We believe that our community of believers should reflect the community around us. Diversity in race, origin, and background are things we strive for at Epoch. We believe that diversity helps stretch and teach us about God's character and His work throughout our city and world.

Creativity

Along with diversity, creativity is something that is very noticeable throughout the SoMa District. We too are blessed to have a number of great musicians and artists within Epoch and we desire to show Christ through the talents and gifts the Lord has given us.
