What the Bible says about Epaphras as Faithful Minister
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Colossians 1:7 Epaphras was either the man who raised up the Colossian church or he was the its pastor. The feeling of the commentators is that he was probably the man who was used to start the church, and that the pastor at the time the epistle was written was Tychicus. Epaphras may have also still been in the area, in the background. John W.

Colossians 1:8 Epaphras seems to have been the man who brought Paul the message about what was happening in Colosse, and asked for Paul's help in countering it. John W.
