The Finance Advisory Council (FAC) developed an ad-hoc Renovations Committee to assist in the planning and execution of the projects outlined in the Celebrating Our Future Capital Campaign. This talented committee is composed of FAC members and other parishioners with relevant professional experience, clergy, and staff. Our well-rounded group’s experiences include general contracting, engineering, architecture, general business backgrounds, and more. Please be assured that this group is considering all options and developing the most prudent plans for the future of Epiphany’s campus.
Direct your renovation questions to this special email: [email protected] and one of the committee members will respond to you.
For several years now, both the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) and Finance Advisory Council (FAC) have been evaluating the condition of our parish facilities. We knew our facilities need updating. The conclusions from our feasibility study made clear the majority of parishioners are aware of the needs and support the renovation plans. Further, parishioners overwhelmingly supported moving forward with a capital campaign to fund the needed improvements. Celebrating Our Future, pulled from our 50th Jubilee Year theme, is the name of our capital campaign.
On this page you will find a four-page brochure with a description of the vision for the Jubilee renovation project. This brochure, along with the FAQ trifold, will explain why we need to make these improvements on our campus where we share our joy for Jesus. The devotional prayer book will help you discern what the Holy Spirit is calling you to give. Many parishioners devoted their time to laying a foundation for a successful campaign. May their hard, volunteer work inspire you to give joyfully to Epiphany’s future.
I ask you to pray about your pledge and to speak with your financial advisor or tax accountant, if necessary. Thank you in advance for your prayers and support.
God bless you,
Rev. J. Randall Hubbard, Pastor
The Celebrating Our Future Capital Campaign is supported by parishioners volunteering their time, talent, and treasure. May their “Why” inspire you to discern your gift to help nourish Epiphany’s growth for the next 50 years of worship and ministry.
"We appreciate what those first families did for us. Our family wants to leave something for the next generation. Our hope is that 50 years from now, people will be inspired by how all of you dared to dream, to leave them with a gift. That gift is the Celebrating Our Future Campaign."

“We had both heard about this Catholic church in the woods and we wanted to see what it was like. So on Easter Sunday, 21 years ago, we attended our first mass here. It was standing room only, there was dancing up the isles, the music was wonderful, the homily was terrific, and there was such a sense of community. It felt so good to be here. You could say you had us at Alleluia!
We immediately became parishioners, signed up for pre-marriage counseling, and we were married here. Our two girls were baptized here, they attended preschool and formation, and received First Communion and Confirmation here. Hopefully one day, they will be married here. And our closest friends are from here.
We know God blessed us when He led us to Epiphany. So when you ask, why do we give? It’s because there is a legacy here that has been part of our lives for a very long time, and continues to be part of our lives. We give because we want to see that legacy continue for the next 50 years.”

“First, we focused our heads on why we need this campaign. Over the course of many years, we’ve deferred some significant maintenance expenses and several areas are in need of refurbishment. Next, the Devotional Prayer Guide really talked to our hearts and got us thinking about the gifts we have been blessed with, what is most important to us, the type of givers that we currently are, and the type of givers that we could become. Once we had our heads aware of the needs and our hearts readied to share, then it was time for the hands – the action we’d take, the pledge we’d make.”

“Our commitment to Epiphany shows through our talent, time, and treasure. It is important to us to be servant leaders. It is just as important to us to support the mission of Epiphany by contributing to the capital campaign to ensure future generations have a place to worship that is welcoming and inclusive. We invite you to join us in contributing to the campaign and ensuring that future."

“When you’re a busy parent and you’re trying so hard to share your faith with your family it’s nice to have the support of your community, your church community. We can really have that at Epiphany.”

“I have successful experience in campaign planning and leadership so, when Fr. Randy invited me to help plan for this important appeal, I agreed to lead that effort. Additionally, Kitty and I have attended Epiphany for over 30 years and believe in the specific goals of this Campaign. We, therefore, made our best gift early in the appeal for support.”
- Dennis Riggs
“We were asked by Fr. Randy to be part of the campaign team. Very difficult to say no to him. Then came the doubts. Feeling a little like being asked to walk on water, if we doubt we will surely sink, so we pulled a team together, prayed a lot, and the devotional booklet happened.”
