About Us

Epiphany United Methodist Church is a suburban congregation serving Miami Township, Loveland, Milford and other communities in the northeast region of Cincinnati, Ohio. Currently, Epiphany has about 750 members and attracts about 550 worshippers to three on-site weekend services. Two services are contemporary (Saturday 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 9:00 a.m.) and one is traditional (Sunday, 10:30 a.m.).

Epiphany’s atmosphere can be described as “casual and welcoming.” Our church is composed of people who are just beginning a faith journey, people from all types of religious backgrounds, and some who are cradle to the grave United Methodists. We seek to welcome everyone and offer learning opportunities for people still checking out Christianity and opportunities for those who seek to grow in their committed relationship with God.

Children and youth ministries are staples for Epiphany’s life ministry. We offer full programming through graduation and beyond. Professional childcare is offered for all church events.

Small groups of adults meeting in homes are an important way adults connect in our church. We offer divorce care to adults, youth, and children and we have recently launched a singles ministry.

Epiphany is committed to making our community and world a better place. Hands-on mission projects locally, nationally, and internationally are offered through the year. Many of our mission projects are designed for the entire family. The best way to get a sense of Epiphany is to join us at the service of your choice this weekend. Our 10 Year VisionWhat Epiphany will look like in 2021:

1. Our church will possess a sure focus that guides our expenditure of energy and resources. Our focus is directed outside the walls of our church to a world in need of Jesus Christ beginning in Miami Township, extending to Cincinnati, our nation, and the globe.

2. We will be a church of small groups with 75% of our youth and adult members and friends in small groups to learn God’s Word, serve their neighbors, and support one another through the ups and downs of life.

2. Epiphany will be driven in its quest to directly serve more people in the name of Jesus Christ (especially the poor and marginalized). During the first 15 years of our church life Epiphany operated according to an “attraction model” of ministry resulting in fast growth and facility expansion. This next decade Epiphany continues to keep its doors open as it embraces a new “missional model” of ministry resulting in multitudes of people being served and loved in the name of Jesus Christ.

4. Epiphany will be tight in its financial management. Tight meaning we continue to pay down our building mortgage so that more resources may be directed to mission and evangelism. As a church family, we embrace God’s teaching about debt avoidance personally and as a faith community.

5. Epiphany becomes a church renowned for extravagant generosity as we commit to achieving a mission tithe. The mission tithe is 10% of our operating budget being directed to local, regional, and international missions. This “second mile tithe” will be above our commitment to pay 100% of our apportionments to the United Methodist Church for our denomination’s global ministry.

Each year our congregation will create and communicate one year goals based upon these five vision pillars for ministry for this new decade (2011-2021). Is God calling you to help us to become a church that literally gives itself away in loving service to others?
