Welcome to Our Site!
Welcome to the website of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Australia. We are a Presbyterian church, constituted as several congregations along the east coast of Australia, whose aim is to faithfully proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, in the tradition of the Protestant Reformation. We believe the truth of the Holy Bible as expressed in the Westminister Confessional Standards as originally adopted by the Reformed Church of Scotland.
 
Three Treasures, One Goal

(The following is a slightly amended version of an address delivered at the AGM of the John Calvin School Association by Rev. C. Kleyn. Those things that had reference to specifics have been deleted, and an alteration or two has been made to reflect the understanding of the EPC re. the covenant. When the writer speaks of the Reformed Confessions and identifies them, we may apply what is said to our own Westminster Confession, which gathers them up, expands upon them, and testifies to the same Reformed faith. We hope this excellent speech, in its article format, will be of real encouragement to our readers to strive for the establishment and maintenance of truly Reformed schools in our congregations. Though this goal may not be possible for us at the present, let us never loose sight of it, or cease to pray and work towards it. Ed. Rev. Chris Connors).

God or Grief ?

God or Grief?

What accounts for the global financial crisis and the stress we are experiencing?

Is the problem financial, or could it be spiritual?

Materialism and greed have impoverished us. We are driven, dissatisfied and self-centred. By ignoring God, we have become slaves to a futile pursuit of “happiness”.

God tells us that the love of money is the root of all evil. What profit is it if we gain the whole world yet lose our own souls? We urge our leaders and fellow Australians to consider these things.

To return to the true God and Jesus Christ His Son, who alone can give meaning, direction and contentment to our lives; that is our great need (Jeremiah 2:11-13, Matthew 16:24-27).
