The Evangelical Assembly of Presbyterian Churches
(EAPC) is a single ecclesiastical body composed of many churches,
with an extended global network. This consists of 7 presbyteries
in America, with 73 American congregations, and over 100 foreign
missions and congregations started by EAPC missionaries worldwide.
“Evangelical” and “Presbyterian” describe
the core values and structure of our organization. Evangelicals
embrace the ‘born-again' experience, use the Bible as the
primary source of God's revelation to man and as an absolute
authority, encourage evangelism (the act of sharing the Gospel),
and focus on Christ's redeeming work on the cross, especially
as the means for salvation and the forgiveness of sins. Presbyterians
adhere to the Westminster Confession of Faith, emphasize salvation
by faith, believe in the absolute providence of God, and govern
on a system of Elders, or ‘presbyters'.
This combination of characteristics and beliefs
also describe our members' beliefs and our denomination's
system. Therefore, we have come to be called by both names,
The Evangelical Assembly of Presbyterian Churches.
Included in this area
