"Epiphany" means "revealed". - During Epiphany, the Christian Church remembers the newborn Jesus was revealed to the Wise Men as King of kings. They were guided by a star that showed them the way to Bethlehem.

Castle Rock's star on "the rock" is a light to all who live in or drive by our fine city. We believe God wants Christians to reveal that Jesus is the Savior of all people. We want to share our faith and serve Him in all we day and do.

In the fall of 2001, we dedicated our new church building at 550 E Wolfensberger Road. We are now blessed with three more buildings and a new one on the way.

Epiphany Lutheran Church is a caring Christian community of believers formed by residents living in Castle Rock, Colorado, and the surrounding areas of Douglas County. Pastor Chris Matthis, an ordained Lutheran pastor, is our newly installed pastor as of October 2nd.
