Sudan Evangelical Presbyterian Church (SEPC) was started by American missionaries of thePresbyterian Church in the USA in the northern part ofSudan. Missionaries were expelled in 1964. The SEPC has grown since then in northern and western Sudan as well as in southern Sudan, after a large percentage of SEPC members moved there in anticipation of forming the new country of The Republic of South Sudan in 2011. Some members have remained in Sudan.[1]
In 2023, the Sudan Evangelical Presbyterian Church is under the leadership ofBishop Elias Taban, and is working to plant churches in northern Sudan as well as South Sudan.
The church affirms theApostles Creed, theWestminster Confession of Faith, and theNicene Creed. Its partner church is theReformed Church in America.[2]
South Sudan is also home to the Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church (SPEC/ SSPEC).[3][4] This is led byRabat Obid.[5]
