"There is no doubt that on-the-ground, action-reflection based internships are the strategically appropriate way to train innovative church planters and missional leaders. Epoch is one such system. I expect to see a lot of good things coming from this direction."

Alan Hirsch
Founding director of Forge and author of The Forgotten Ways, The Shaping of Things To Come, ReJesus, and Untamed.

"In Acts 19, Paul taught in the School of Tyrannus, and everyone in his region heard the word of God within two years. It wasn't because they came and heard Paul preach, but because of the infectious viral content of his teaching lived out in his students lives. Epoch Center has a similar heart, to train leaders in the Kingdom to live contagious missional lifestyles and see holistic community transformation in their city. We need learning communities like this all over the world."

Dr. Allan Karr
Associate Professor of Missiology and Church Planting at Golden Gate Theological Seminary, Director of Leadership Development of Surgance, Inc., and co-author of Church Turned Inside Out.

"We live in an urban world, yet many followers of Jesus Christ suffer from urban-phobia. The Epoch Centre is a much needed resource to overcoming stereotypical fears about urban ministry. Epoch training may begin in a classroom but most definitely ends in the streets where you come face-to-face with the urban challenge."
