About the Program

Epic: A Journey Through Church History is a twenty-session study that explores the people, places, and events that shaped two thousand years of Catholic Church history. Alongside this study, Epic: The Early Church focuses on the Church’s first five centuries.

As Catholics, we inherit a rich history built by holy men and women who spread the Gospel throughout the world. More than a list of popes and saints, Church history is a story of courage, reform, and devotion. This study traces twelve color-coded time periods and examines key events such as the Crusades, the Protestant Reformation, and the persecution of Christians.

Through this study, you will see how the Holy Spirit has guided the Church through the centuries.
