Our Story
A life-giving, healing community of real people serving a real God — in Lakeland since 1999.
Who We Are
Formerly known as TLC Family Church, Epic Church began in August of 1999, when Pastors Steve and Shirley Arnold brought together a core group of leaders who shared their vision of a life-giving and healing community of real people serving a real God.
With a deep passion to see lives restored and renewed, Epic Church is a multi-cultural, trans-generational, passionate body of believers making sense out of life — and there's a place in this family for you.
What We Value
Everything we do starts and ends with Jesus. He's the center, not us.
No perfect people required. Come as you are and find a family.
Faith is meant to leave the building. We love Lakeland in real ways.
We take next steps together — in faith, friendship, and purpose.
What We Believe
Our foundation hasn't changed since 1999. Here's what we build our lives and our church on.
Read Our BeliefsWe believe in the inspiration of the Bible — God's trustworthy Word and our foundation for life.
We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and rose again — and that through faith in Him we are forgiven, justified, and made new.
We believe in water baptism, the Lord's Supper, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and divine healing through the atonement.
