Evangelical Presbyterian Church (Ireland)

[2] The breakaway was prompted by the acquittal in a Presbytery trial of Professor James E. Davey of the Assembly's College on charges brought by Hunter and others of five counts of heresy.

[8] In 2011–12 the EPC Public Morals Committee supported a campaign by the Christian Institute, an evangelical pressure group, against funding of the London Pride festival by Tesco.

[14] The EPC has played a part in the development of, and continues in close fellowship with, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of England and Wales.

Relations with other evangelical churches in the UK and Ireland are conducted through membership of Affinity Archived 26 January 2013 at the Wayback Machine.

[2] Thus, the church upholds the doctrines of the Trinity, Jesus' sacrificial death and resurrection, sola scriptura, sola fide, double predestination (alongside freedom of choice), the covenant of works with Adam, that assurance of salvation is not a necessary consequence of faith, a regulative principle of worship, strict sabbatarianism, and that the Roman Catholic doctrine of Transubstantiation in the Mass is unscriptural and can be a cause of superstition or idolatry.

[15] In common with some other Reformed churches, the EPC in its Code has amended three clauses in the Confession, namely, those concerning the Antichrist,[16] consanguinity,[17] and the civil magistrate.

[27] The EPC is closely linked to the Evangelical Book Shop, a separate charity, at 15 College Square East, Belfast, and online at http://www.evangelicalbookshop.co.uk.
