Emily Gyimesi from EPIC Church shared insights about "EPIC Day," a strategically created event designed to sustain momentum and foster an inviting culture. Scheduled about six weeks before Easter, EPIC Day addresses the challenge of maintaining attendance between Easter and summer. The event is special but intentionally manageable, featuring elements like the annual t-shirt giveaway, which has become a key part of the church's identity.

EPIC Day helps build an inviting culture by encouraging members to invite others, using both digital and physical tools. The day features a balanced message that is both practical and spiritually significant, aimed at drawing in first-time visitors and re-engaging the congregation. The t-shirt reveal and associated activities make the event memorable, serving as a major driver for church growth both in-person and online.
