EPIC's Evening for Life; The Other Half of the Story | Friday, September 25, 2026 | 6:30–8:45 PM

For 36 years, EPIC has faithfully stood beside women in some of their most vulnerable moments,  offering compassion, truth, practical help, and the hope of the Gospel. 

But there's another half to the story!

Join us for EPIC’s Evening for Life 2026: The Other Half of the Story on Friday, September 25, 2026, at The Flame Banquet Hall. This year, we are shining a light on a critical truth: every baby has a father, and when fathers are engaged, families are stronger.

While EPIC has served women for over two decades, our fatherhood program is still new,  just a year and a half old. In that short time, we’ve already seen what happens when men are invited into the conversation, equipped with biblical truth, and challenged to lead with courage. When fathers step up, mothers are supported, babies are protected, and generational impact begins to take shape.

We are honored to welcome special guest speaker Andrew Wood, a seasoned ministry leader and communicator with nearly two decades of experience serving churches, families, and the pro-life movement. Known for his engaging storytelling and biblical insight, Andrew will address the powerful role fathers play in unplanned pregnancies and why investing in strong fatherhood programs is essential for pregnancy centers today. His message will inspire, challenge, and call us to embrace God’s design for family in a culture that often overlooks it.

 General admission is free, but registration is required. Table sponsorships and special sponsorship packages are also available and offer an impactful way to support the mission of EPIC while enjoying reserved seating and recognition at the event.

Mark your calendar, invite a friend, and reserve your spot today — seating is limited!
