Library Mission Statement

The mission of the Epiphany Lutheran Church Library is to provide wholesome Christian materials for use by church members, or members of the community who may be involved in an outreach program of our church. It is our goal to minister to the needs of the congregation and stimulate Christian growth by providing a variety of subjects and materials which are suited to meditation, worship, inspiration, enjoyment, and/or education. The library operates within the confines of the adopted general policies.
