The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany

What The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany does

The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany is a 501(c)(3) Episcopal parish church operating from a 112-year-old Period Revival sanctuary at 423 N. Beaver Street in Flagstaff, Arizona, designated on the National Historic Registry in December 2023. The parish delivers traditional Episcopal ministries including weekly Holy Eucharist and Taize services, pastoral care with home/hospital visits, hospice chaplaincy, children's and youth formation (Nursery, Godly Play, Soft Space, Family Services), adult formation through Education for Ministry and Contemplative Conversations, and a Seniors & Hospice Ministry serving The Peaks senior living and Northland Hospice.

Revenue is generated through voluntary congregational tithes and offerings, an annual pledge campaign funding operations, music, youth/children's ministries, and outreach, and limited facility rental (sanctuary and Parish Hall capacity ~150 persons). The parish operates an embedded sub-brand, Open Doors: Art in Action, an art gallery ministry in the Parish Hall running independently in finances and programming, which has hosted 21 social-justice exhibitions since its April 2018 launch and anchors First Friday ArtWalk attendance of 50–120 visitors per event.

The church is governed by an elected Vestry led by a Rector and Senior/Junior Wardens, with financial oversight from a Treasurer and Finance Committee and a five-member Endowment Board. The organization maintains active strategic partnerships with LCM|Canterbury campus ministry (serving Northern Arizona University and Coconino Community College), Flagstaff Family Food Center, Flagstaff Shelter Services, C.A.Ts Community Assistance Teams, FUSD McKinney-Vento, and Northland Hospice. Distribution is primarily in-person at the single Flagstaff campus, supplemented by livestream worship via YouTube. Technology footprint is limited to livestreaming, a website (epiphanyaz.org), email newsletter, Facebook, and Instagram — no AI/ML, proprietary software, or app-based offerings are evidenced.

Direct peers

• LCM|Canterbury at Northern Arizona University: An Episcopal-Lutheran ecumenical campus ministry in Flagstaff, AZ directly housed and supported by the Church of the Epiphany. Serves NAU and Coconino Community College students with worship, formation, and fellowship — same mission model in a younger sub-segment.
• St. Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church: A mid-sized Episcopal parish in Tucson, AZ with similar program breadth (worship, formation, outreach) and a comparable Arizona mainline footprint. Same diocese (Diocese of Arizona) and competitive member-acquisition pool, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• St. Thomas Episcopal Church (Medina, WA): The previous parish of incoming Rector The Rev. Shane Carlson. A comparable-sized Pacific Northwest Episcopal parish with a similar mix of worship, formation, and outreach — and the most directly comparable predecessor for assessing the new rector's likely operating approach.
• All Saints' Episcopal Church & Day School (Phoenix): A larger Arizona Episcopal parish in the Phoenix metro with an embedded day school, choir, and significant community outreach. Directly comparable on Episcopal identity, Arizona geography, and a mixed model of worship-plus-formation programming.

Broad incumbents

• Trinity Episcopal Cathedral (Phoenix): The cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona. Operates as a broader-incumbent within the same state-level governance and offers overlapping worship, formation, music, and outreach capabilities as a wider portfolio play.
• The Episcopal Church (Domestic & Foreign Missionary Society): The national denominational body governing all Episcopal parishes in the United States. Operates an Order of operationally similar member congregations with shared liturgical, governance, and stewardship standards; the broadest incumbent peer for benchmarking parish-level metrics.
• Episcopal Diocese of Arizona: The governing body of all Episcopal parishes in Arizona, of which Church of the Epiphany is a constituent. Provides the canonical, financial, and programmatic overlay (bishop, deployment, training) within which the parish operates, and represents the broader-incumbent envelope of resources.

Others

• Virginia Theological Seminary: The largest accredited seminary of the Episcopal Church and the alma mater of the incoming Rector (M.Div., cum laude). Functions as a feeder institution for clergy supply, leadership development, and formation programming — an adjacent ecosystem participant.
• Open Doors: Art in Action: A wholly-owned subsidiary gallery ministry of Church of the Epiphany, exhibiting art on social/environmental/justice themes since 2018. Functions as a thematically-related, adjacent operating entity with independent finances and programming — useful as a comparable mission-aligned nonprofit model.

Regional players

• Flagstaff Federated Community Church: A progressive mainline Protestant congregation (UCC-Disciples) in Flagstaff with similar social-justice orientation, Pride participation, and inclusive welcome. A regional peer for congregant overlap and shared community-outreach footprint in the same small market.
