Learn More About Us
Thank you so much for your interest in Edgington Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Since September 1837, our congregation has endeavored to be a worshiping and missions-minded body of believers with a steadfast witness to historic Christian faith in the Reformed tradition. In the words of our Confession of Faith, we believe that our highest purpose is to "glorify God and enjoy Him forever." In light of this, there are several very central realities that make up the identity of our beloved church.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR
It's a joy to welcome you to the online home of Edgington EPC! As you learn about our church family, I hope that you'll appreciate the emphasis we have on the centrality of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, made known to us through the Word of God. Even with our long history of more than 180 years, we are as excited as ever about our mission and ministry here in our community. I'd love for you and your family to share in where the Lord is leading us as we continue in our desire to glorify God and enjoy Him forever! I hope to hear from you if you have any questions, or if we can serve you in any way; and perhaps even have the privilege to welcome you as we worship our God together.
