Engage 2025 – (https://www.epcwo.org/engage2025/)

An initiative of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, each EPC presbytery launching a disciple-making movement among an unengaged Muslim people group by 2025.

The EPC’s vision for Engage 2025 is comprised of three aspects:

  •  Thoroughly evangelical: proclaiming the good news of life in Jesus;
  • Specifically  Presbyterian: through the power of churches linked by faith and geography (a presbytery!); and
  •  Desperately urgent: among people who have no intentional, witnessing Jesus-followers active among them.
