The Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians (EPC) is an American church body holding to presbyterian governance and Reformed theology, formed by member churches of the Fellowship of Presbyterians in 2012 as a response to the admission of homosexual clergy into the Presbyterian Church (USA).
The new body is more committed to conservative evangelical theology than the body it left, but is also to the left theologically of other Reformed bodies, such as the Evangelical Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church in America. They also hold to the Book of Confessions of the PCUSA, rather than just to the Westminster Standards like most Presbyterian bodies.
