Let’s talk about the Brill Chapel here at Epworth Villa and Pastor Laura Glover. Simply put, the Brill Chapel is the spiritual center of Epworth Villa. Pastor Laura comes to Epworth from the Oklahoma Conference of the United Methodist Church. While she may belong to the Methodist Church, the services at Epworth are ecumenical and open to all faiths. Each Thursday, a Vespers service is held generally with a local clergy member. There is a choir, pianist, and organist to complete the traditional service. The services are broadcast on Epworth’s own closed-circuit TV channel (EVTV.) On Sunday mornings, Sunday School is held in the Brill Chapel, and a musical worship service on Sunday evenings.
Our Residents are so blessed that Kenneth and Evelyn Brill had a vision and created an action plan for the construction of the chapel. It was dedicated in November of 2002 and then received a slight renovation in 2016 with sound and lighting updates throughout the years. We are confident that the Brill Chapel will continue to serve our Residents well.
At Epworth Villa, we value Faith-Based Service. We respect all beliefs. We pray with each other and those we serve. We value diversity.
We invite you to come and visit Pastor Laura, the Brill Chapel and tour our entire campus. You are WELCOME at Epworth Villa!

Learning more about the additional services offered to Epworth Residents and the community:

Epworth at Home has always been here for us. Al and I have each had surgeries while living here at Epworth Villa. A registered nurse, physical therapist, and occupational therapist worked with Al here in our home. I have had two surgeries and needed help with bathing and housework. Epworth at Home provided health care nurses for me. All brought big smiles and friendly talk as well as doing their jobs efficiently. They also followed through and checked back with us to see if we needed more assistance. They provide all the home health services that we needed.

We know if we need help again, we can always count on Epworth at Home to send the appropriate professional to help us! -Al and Sonie Lieber

A testimony from Rev. Dan Frisby-

In every age, stage and page of life our greatest human need is to find hope, healing and health when life becomes most challenging, chaotic or critical.

As a retired United Methodist Minister in our Oklahoma United Methodist annual conference since serving as a student pastor in 1965 while attending Oklahoma City University till retiring in 2007, my goal and mission has been to assist, affirm and advance these essential needs for all who find times of greatest need when life may become most frightening, fragile or frustrating due to unexpected changes life may bring.

Such an event changed my life when my auto was totaled by a rear-end collision that left me facing serious back surgery. Hope, healing and health in every aspect of life became my greatest need! Following my successful surgery I faced the recuperation, restoration and renewal of renewed health.

I found the essentials I needed from the Epworth Home Health care team of their professional staff of nursing, therapy and nutrition who nurtured me back to health through their empathy, expertise and experienced care that I required to be restored back to health. I needed in this most fragile and frightening life experience.

It is with deep gratitude and a grateful heart that I commend the Epworth Home Health care team to and for your health if, or when, you may experience such need or care to restore, renew or recuperate.
