Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Togo

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Togo is a church of the

francophone and anglophone churches. The French-speaking church was established by the Paris Foreign Missions Society.[1]

The new evangelisation resulted in the founding of several hospitals, dispensaries, and schools. In 1959 the United Church of Christ in the United States started its own mission work in North Togo. In the same year, the church gained full independence, and one year later the country became independent. In 1965 it faced[clarification needed] the dictatorship in Togo. The church began mission work in the north west of the country in 1984.

The church has 200,000–300,000 members, 516 congregations, and 516 house fellowships. The church affirms the

Apostles Creed.[2] It is a member of the World Communion of Reformed Churches.[3]
