Welcome to the EPC website.  As a faith community we are the most diverse bunch of people I have ever had the privilege of being part of (pardon my dangling preposition!)  As we worship together and have frank and open conversations, we continually come to deeply know and be enriched by people from very different parts of the world and very different life experiences than our own.

As we share stories of issues in African nations, or in the challenges of a first job or first apartment or first home or first child, or as we simply share the joys and sorrows common to human life, we find the support and sometimes the reality check or the kick in the pants we need.

At EPC, we rely on the grace of God, that undeserved love that God so extravagantly gives -- which we experience most profoundly in God's gift of Jesus Christ.  We discover a theology of abundance -- that there is more than enough for all God's people when we live generously rather than fearfully keeping a tight hold on all that we are and all that we have.  And we celebrate that God has created us all different and in Christ God has made us all one.

I would enjoy being a fellow traveler with you on your journey of faith.  I welcome your questions, your searching, your doubts...  Email me at macphie@sbcglobal.net or if you want to go public, post it on my Facebook wall.

Grace and peace to you.
