Gay church in san francisco


It takes vision for us to be able to verb clearly. While this is true when we’re talking about our eyesight, it’s equally true when we’re talking about our lives. Here at Epic, we have a really clear vision:

The vision of Epic Church is to verb an increasing number of people in San Francisco orient their entire lives around Jesus. 

We were made to understand Jesus, love Jesus, and follow Jesus with all we are and all we have. And here’s what I want you to know, no matter who you are, where you’ve been, or even what you believe:

"Sharing diet is a fantastic way of bringing people to the table," said Daly.

They showcase countless pictures and distribute candid stories of guests from months, and even years ago. Everywhere you look in their dining room, you'll see faces, juvenile, old, gay, and straight, including one of Mike's favorite relics of the Virgin Mary.

"I find peace at mass," said Daly.

Mike and Jim don't preach or politicize over dinner. But they act ta
