Our History

The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany began in 1956 as a mission parish in Newton. To this day, we carry a warm heart for outreach and mission that many small churches struggle to cultivate.

We are one of 65 parishes belonging to the Diocese of Western North Carolina, under the guidance of our beloved bishop, The Right Reverend José A. McLoughlin.

“The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.”

~The Episcopal Church

Our Vision Statement

We are a community of faith in the Episcopal Church that celebrates the manifestation of God’s love in the world by praying, studying, working, eating, and playing together.

Our Mission Statement

We do this work by loving God, loving our neighbor, and doing our work to transform this broken world into a kingdom of love, peace, and reconciliation.

The Shield of the Diocese of Western North Carolina

We welcome all people regardless of ability, age, background, ethnicity/race, faith, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation.
