Rev.
Karen's motto for ministry is: Make it real!The UCD
Search Team says…
Based on the 'Sr. Minister wish list' we've expressed as a
congregation, the search committee believes Rev. Epps embodies those
ideals and would bring to UCD a grounded approach to ministry based on
her “Make It Real” credo, proven leadership in the community, and
extensive business experience combined with experience in the spiritual
leadership and management of a large, corporate-sized church. Rev. Epps
emphasizes her belief that the heart and soul of a church is its people
and has demonstrated a commitment to collaborate on the vision of a
church, while, at the same time, tempering that vision with
discernment. She has shared with us that her favorite part of ministry
is speaking the word on Sundays.
