Mission Statement
"Celebrating and Practising the presence of God in the Spirit
of Jesus Christ"
We aim to CELEBRATE the presence of God through our worship...
...and PRACTISE the presence of God through our involvement in
the local community.
Our community
Gipton Community Arts Centre (GAC) aims to provide and support
a variety of community and arts based activities, enabling the people
of Gipton to develop new skills and interests and to meet new friends.
It is a joint project between the Church of the Epiphany and the

centre. The Directors of GAC include representatives from the church,
local schools, community groups, arts groups and local residents.
