MISSION OF THE LUTHERAN EVANGELICAL PROTESTANT CHURCH

Go ye therefore into all the world;preach the gospel unto every one;Teach all nations to observe all things I have commanded you.Baptize them in the Father's name,in the Holy Spirit's and the Son's;Lo, I shall be with you to the end;lo, I am with you alway.Matt.28:19-20

Whatever you do for the least of these my brothers, you do it to me. Matthew 25:40

Our mission is to provide a denominational home for evangelical Christians. Many churches have deviated from Biblical truths about God, Jesus and the Bible. The gender of God is debated; the divinity of Jesus is questioned and the authority of the Bible is challenged.

We invite those individuals called by God to the Gospel ministry to unite with us. Ordination as an LEPC minister is available to all men and women called by God to the Gospel ministry who accept the LEPC Statement of Faith and Core Beliefs.

In an effort to assist those who feel a calling into GOD'S service, the LEPC has established The Concordia Theologica Institute For Biblical Studies. The Institute provides the additional education needed to meet the requirements for Ordination by the Lutheran Evangelical Protestant Church.

Ministers from other evangelical bodies may be received by transfer providing they accept the LEPC Statement of Faith and Core Beliefs.

All churches planted by LEPC ministers will be a Lutheran Evangelical Protestant church registering with the Denomination. Established churches seeking Denominational affiliation are encouraged to contact us.

All transfer Ordination candidates must complete three courses through The Concordia Theologica Institute For Biblical Studies: "History of the LEPC," "Spiritual Gifts Index" and "Biblical Leadership.".

Candidates holding no credentials must meet the educational requirement, or may complete online coursework with Concordia Institute of Biblical studies or another accepted institution to meet LEPC requirements and be ordained in a ceremony by the "laying on of hands." There is no cost for the online coursework with Concordia for those who commit to serving in ministry with the GCEPC/LEPC. This coursework is not offered to the general public but is offered only for the sake of GCEPC/LEPC minister candidates seeking to meet our educational requirements.

Candidates for ordination may request ordination into Apostolic Succession.Through the Order of Corporate Reunion, a holy order established by Pope Pius in the late 1800's,(and recognized as valid by the Vatican today), the line of Apostolic Succession has been extended through the Lutheran Evangelical Protestant Church.

Apostolic Succession is the laying on of hands, one to another in an unbroken line of succession from the original Apostles down through history to today. This lineage is recognized by both Eastern(Orthodox) and Western(Roman)Catholic churches, as well as others.

Through these various lineages, The Lutheran Evangelical Protestant Church is in direct Apostolic Succession of St Peter, St James, St Mark, St Paul,St John and St Andrew.

Copies of the Apostolic Succession lineage of The Lutheran Evangelical Protestant Church are available upon serious and legitimate request by contacting our office.

All ordinations must be approved by the Executive Board and Board of Advisors and all credentials must come from the Synod Main Office.

We are incorporated as a non-profit 501-c-3 religious institution under the Evangelical Protestant Church(GCEPC)Inc.Our General Conference is in Cayce-West Columbia, South Carolina, USA.
