Evangelical Presbyterian Church is a gathering of a diverse people who have one thing in common -- a desire to know more fully the One who has given them life -- Jesus Christ -- and to live this life he has given, in the manner Christ intended. It’s not simply a question of “Am I saved?” but “What am I saved for?”
As God has brought us together to minister in his name, we realize that the manner in which we serve God and one another is as unique and different as the gifts God has so generously given us. God’s infallible word, the Bible, is our guide for faith and lives. We seek to practically apply the truths of God that are found in scripture. Our church’s motto: In essentials, unity; In non-essentials, liberty (or freedom); In all things, charity (or love) -- emphasizes that there are certain truths of God that are absolute. However we realize that there are other areas that are non-essential in nature, that allow for various positions or interpretations. Whether we agree or disagree, we hold fast to those essential truths and display love in all things. This means we seek to model the character of Christ, who is love, in all that we do. At EPC of Marshall, we seek to grow in every sense of the word. We are growing numerically with a current membership of about 200. However, our primary concern is the spiritual development of the people God has assembled in our fellowship -- through Sunday morning teaching and worship experiences, Wednesday night prayer meetings, and service to the church and community through our many ministries. An Inquirers Class is offered several times a year during the Sunday school hour for those interested in examining basic Christian beliefs. During this five-week course, particular attention is given to the person and work of Jesus Christ, what it means to be a follower of Christ, how to live for Him, and the distinctives of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. At the completion of the class, those who wish to become members of the church may request to do so. |
