EPIC LIFE CHURCH

VISION

The vison of Epic Life Church is to see North Seattle transformed by finding an Epic Life in Jesus Christ. 

HISTORY

The moment everything began for Keith Carpenter (lead pastor for Epic Life) was in the midst of a dream. In the dream, Keith went through a town with a group of people dedicated to sharing the message of Christ. Keith spoke with the elderly, the homeless, and a young woman, explaining how Jesus forfeited His Deity by entering this world in human flesh to become human. He spoke of how Christ gave His life as a sacrifice to forgive sin in order that men and women could experience the beauty of a reconciled relationship with God. As this message spread, the entire town was transformed as Jesus came into people’s lives, healing them of sin, brokenness, and hopelessness. 

Keith was already involved in a full-time ministry for a church in Minnesota and loving every minute of it. But with that dream, he sensed that God might be calling him to a new place, a new city, a new form of ministry, the starting of a church. 

As God provided confirmation through circumstances and people, the next step was to invite others into this journey and calling. After two years of preparation alongside ten others, Keith and the team moved from Minnesota to Seattle, which was at that time the most unchurched city in the nation. God’s desire for the church to be a unique part of the city became evident as door after door opened for the central location be in the Northgate Neighborhood, directly along the Aurora corridor, a place steeped in darkness and hopelessness. 

Epic Life opened its doors to the public in October 2009 and God has been blessing ever since through both depth and breadth of growth, discipleship, and influence. Epic Life considers itself blessed as they continue to witness and experience God’s transforming love at work in North Seattle.
