Core Beliefs: EPC is both evangelical and Presbyterian. We embrace the Westminster Confession of Faith as our doctrinal standard and the rule of spiritually mature elders linked together regionally as the best way to guide local congregations. We determined that on the basic essentials of the Christian faith, we would not disagree, but on anything that was not essential, such as the issue of ordaining women as officers or practicing charismatic gifts, we would give each other liberty. We have a world missions program with a priority on sending missionaries to unreached people groups. (Taken from the website.)
