Manoa Community Church is a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). The EPC denomination exists to carry out the Great Commission of Jesus as Presbyterian, Reformed, Evangelical and Missional congregations. To the glory of God, our EPC family aspires to embody and proclaim Jesus’ love as a global movement of congregations engaged together in God’s mission through transformation, multiplication and effective biblical leadership.

The EPC consists of more than 600 churches with approximately 145,000 members. We have a world missions program with a priority on sending missionaries to unreached people groups. We’re eager to plant churches across the United States and especially in urban communities and college towns. Our desire is that every one of our congregations will be an outpost of the Kingdom, with every member viewing himself or herself as a missionary on a mission.

WORLD OUTREACH

World Outreach is the mission sending agency of the EPC. Our principal calling is to glorify God by starting church-planting movements among the least-reached people groups throughout the world.

EPC BELIEFS

The EPC Constitution consists of the “Essentials of Our Faith,” the Westminster Confession of Faith (including the Larger and Shorter Catechisms), and the Book of Order (comprised of The Book of Government, The Book of Discipline, and The Book of Worship). All these documents are subordinate to Scripture, which is “the supreme and final authority on all matters on which it speaks.”

POSITION PAPERS

The EPC is about the gospel, not politics, and therefore does not believe in taking political positions. However, we do believe the Church has an obligation to speak clearly on important ethical and theological issues from a biblical worldview. To do this, the EPC develops Position Papers.

A Position Paper is approved through several steps. It is first introduced in a preliminary form and approved by the General Assembly. Next, it is circulated among the presbyteries for comment for a minimum of one year. Finally, it requires approval by a second General Assembly.

Position Papers do not represent the “Essentials of Our Faith,” but they are still important matters on which the Church must speak with clarity and biblical compassion. Here are select Position Papers available in PDF download:
