The EPC came into existence in 1974 when the founding members withdrew from the PCANZ because of downgrade in that denomination with regard to the authority of Scripture. Over the years the Christchurch congregation helped establish a work in Ashburton, which in turn has a preaching station in Fairlie. We seek to remain faithful to God\'s word while being openly evangelical in our theology, as encapsulated in our mission statement \'REACHING UP, REACHING IN, REACHING OUT\'. Membership is now widely international in ethnicity. We are involved in the formation of a new denomination called Grace Bible Churches (http://www.gbcnz.org.nz/), and are continuing talks with other congregation who have recently withdrawn from the PCANZ.
Present day situation: We are currently engaged in refugee & migrant, and student mission activities. Currently we are growing numerically.
Special information: Campus Outreach is operating in partnership with the EPC.
