About - East Philadelphia Baptist Church

Mission, Vision, & Ministry

The MISSION of EPBC is to love God and to love others through the model set by Jesus Christ. The VISION of EPBC is to glorify God, to exalt Jesus, and to make (establish and edify) biblical, Christ-following disciples who in turn make disciples who follow Jesus Christ. The MINISTRY of EPBC is to be an instrument and tool for the purpose of promoting the saving love of God and to proclaim the redemptive work of Jesus Christ through building relationships both inside and outside of the local church.

What We Believe

EPBC, through an affiliation with the SBC (Southern Baptist Convention), applies the document: THE BAPTIST FAITH & MESSAGE (2000) as a comprehensive statement of our faith as a local church. It is important to note that this document does not stand on its own, but draws from the Bible for its foundation and direction in totality.
