Before they married Chris & Lori Lockemy spent their dates driving through the streets of Baltimore blaring worship music and dreaming of what a church could look like to the disenfranchised of the city. Little did they know God would open that door in the not-too-distant future. After marrying in 2002, the Lockemys started Epic in 2005, a church for the rest of us with the mission of seeing all come to life in Christ!

In 2010 they expanded their family with their daughter London and in 2020 with their second daughter Lyryck. Along with their two puppies, Locke and Leia they love to travel, hit the beach, and spend time laughing with friends. They are are passionate to see the lost found, the found free, and the free empowered to be all God has created them to be. The Next Level Relational Network has been their ministry tribe since 2016.
