SYNOPSIS: In this series, we continue our journey about mission, specifically Epic's call to mission. For these three weeks, we will explore how living a good story is another way to understand mission, whether that story is your own or that of a church community. Often, the contours of a church's mission are embedded in the stories of its people. This series will teach us how to think about mission as we consider 3 different scenarios as possibilities.
