Add article description


The Presbyterian Church of Cameroon (Eglise presbytérienne camerounaise, EPC) is a Reformed and Presbyterian denomination in Cameroon. It is the second-largest Reformed denomination in the country, after the English-speaking Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, a member of the World Communion of Reformed Churches,[1] as well as the World Council of Churches.[2]

The EPC was established by the American Presbyterian Mission, now Presbyterian Mission Agency as part of the Presbyterian Church (USA) (PCUSA), and partly the Basel Mission, and became an autonomous church in 1957. The church is composed of six synods and 25 consistories (or presbyteries). The ECP is in close relationship with the PCUSA.[2]
