Earnest Epps Memoriam

Remembering the life & legacy of Bishop Earnest Epps, January 28, 1948- May 3, 2020. Bishop Epps is a beloved husband, father, grandfather, family member and friend to many and was also a celebrated teacher, elder, faithful pastor, spirit-led preacher, consecrated bishop, dedicated leader and visionary. Bishop is remembered for his heart of gold, in which he used to foster many initiatives in the communities of Bridgeport and New Haven, CT. He strongly believed and can be remembered by this foundational statement, "Where there is Unity, There is Strength" which he utilized to encourage, uplift and guide; rooted out of one of his favorite scriptures, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in Unity" -Psalm 133:1. Bishop is well-loved, deeply missed and forever in our hearts! With love, Rosa, Dominique, Shaquille & James.
