What should you expect when you visit Epikos Church?  What's it really like to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit? At Epikos church you'll experience a dynamic Spirit filled community of believers who hear from God and move in His power.  It's an incredible place to be but it's not about Epikos, it's about  the Holy Spirit who came to fill and empower us to live as true followers of Jesus.  Here are five things you can expect to experience when visiting a Spirit filled church.



5 Things to Expect When Visiting Epikos Church

1. Sensing the Presence of the Holy Spirit: While serving God is not all about the "feeling" you should still expect to feel the love of God in a tangible way.  When Jesus rose to Heaven the Father sent the Holy Spirit back to be with us.  He is the present manifestation of of God in the earth.  We are not alone.  As a Spirit filled church we truly sense and experience the presence of God when we gather together and when we go out to serve the hurting people of Bend, OR.
   
2. The Gifts of the Spirit: How long has it been since you were truly used by God in a supernatural way?  Supernatural? Yes, in a way that's beyond your natural ability!  At Epikos church we believe that the Spirit filled life is marked by courageous and supernatural living.  You can read about these gifts in Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12-14. 
3. Love and Unity: The church is made of people.  Any group that's made up of people will have it's challenges and offenses.  A Spirit filled church overcomes these challenges to experience the love and unity of the Spirit.  Whether you've lived in Bend, Oregon all of your life or just moved here, you'll find a place of hope, encouragement, safety and love at Epikos Church.
4. Fruitfulness in Reaching the Lost: What happened when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples in Acts 2?  The church grew!  A Spirit filled church is a church with the power to have victory over darkness and accomplish all that Jesus came for - to seek and save the lost!!!  We have a passion for the lost in Bend, OR and as we follow the lead of the Spirit we see the fruit of broken and lost people becoming thriving members of God's family.
5. A Community of Servants:  Jesus said that He did not come to be served but to serve.  That's why a Spirit filled church will be marked by a community of servants.  As the Spirit leads us to live like Jesus it will be seen in how we live our lives for the betterment of others, that we may bring glory to God.  The love of God has filled us and we simply pour it out on those in Bend, Oregon who He wants to love through us.

Whether you already know Jesus or are from Him we invite you to join us this Sunday to experience the power of God through the presence of the Holy Spirit.
