New Church Development
in Egypt

The Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Egypt (EPCE)

The Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Egypt (EPCE) has long recognized the importance of planting churches in new communities and renovating churches that have stood for almost 100 years. As the population of Egypt continues to increase, the need for new churches increases as well. Planting a church is not a luxury or an extra place for people to only practice spiritual activities like worship and Bible study, but often a place of enlightenment, services, and refuge for many people.  

The Impact

The Outreach Foundation works closely with the Pastoral and Outreach Ministries Council of the Synod of the Nile which has identified three areas in which God is calling the church to pursue outreach: 1) revitalization of village churches, some of them centuries old and primarily in Upper Egypt, 2) planting new churches in urban suburbs, and 3) planting new churches in the new “satellite” cities. The Council works very closely with the seminary in Cairo which is producing excellent students who are called and equipped for ministry in a remarkable season for the church’s mission.

The opportunity

The Outreach Foundation is seeking gifts to support the mission and ministry of New Church Development in Egypt. All gifts of any size are welcomed to help support the planting/revitalization of Presbyterian churches in Egypt.
