The Team
The people are what make Epic such a special place. Whether it’s an energetic greeting at door, the talented creative arts department, or all the behind the scenes volunteers, we couldn’t do it without every one of them.
Tim Kade: Lead Pastor
Tim has been married to Kathy for 16 years and has three children. He grew up in Clawson, a small town in the suburbs of Detroit and majored in Political Science at Oakland University with plans to live an average life and successful career. In 1991, God interrupted those plans and led him to go into full time ministry. After graduating from Concordia Seminary, he’s served in churches in Michigan, Indiana and Ghana, West Africa. He is a gifted teacher and passionate about helping people discover their vital role in the story God’s writing in this world.
