They say you understand where you’re going better when you know where you’ve been. As Epiphany Lutheran Church celebrates 40 years of ministry, we wanted to take time to reflect on the journey that brought us here.

Inspired by Pastor Muchow’s vision to preserve the voices of Epiphany’s earliest members, Dinner with the Founders brought together as many of our original founding members as we could find for a heartfelt, funny, and meaningful conversation about the church’s past. Over the course of one evening, they shared stories from Epiphany’s early days—what it was like to start something from scratch, the challenges they faced, and the moments that made it all worthwhile.

This project was directed and produced by the Epiphany Communications Team as a gift to the church community and as a contribution to the Epiphany Historical Archives. We’re excited to share a first look at this special conversation through the official trailer for Dinner with the Founders. The full video premieres in May 2025.

We hope this glimpse into our past not only honors where we came from—but also inspires where we’re going next.
