EPIC

Leadership Development Conference

EPIC is a gathering designed to strengthen leaders for their ministry in the congregation and in the world.  Each event will have worship, a series of workshops, and fellowship time.

During EPIC 2025, we will explore what it means to have Strong Connections through Intertwining Hope with topics that explore how to have Intertwining Hope in God and Intertwining Hope with each other.

This event is open to all people in the Virginia Synod and will feature times of worship and large-group presentations as well as small-group breakout sessions led by members of the Office of the Bishop Staff and local leaders from each hosting area. We hope attendees will also share their ideas and resources with one another for some holy cross-pollinating!

Registration information for the two dates is below. Registration for the March 8 EPIC will close on February 27. Registration for the November 8 EPIC will open this fall.

More details about the event and workshop descriptions are in the brochure linked below. When registering, you’ll need to select which workshops you want to attend. If you are registering multiple people, you’ll need to have all of their workshop selections. Unfortunately we are not able to offer a group discount this year.
