Community Church of Ephrata

Church

Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC)

Ephrata, WA

Community Church of Ephrata (CCE), Ephrata Washington, is seeking a full-time Pastor to lead and shepherd a congregation with a strong commitment to biblical teaching, spiritual unity, and consistently maturing in the Christian faith. The congregation has a strong desire to disciple its church family while expanding its ministry in the Ephrata Community.

CCE was formed in 2005 after a group of faithful believers split from the PC(USA) and joined the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). The church built a new building, completed in 2012, and has faithfully served the people of Ephrata. CCE is a loving congregation that readily demonstrate love for the pastor and his family. We have a spirit of unity and care deeply about each other and are quick to minister to those that are hurting.

Ephrata is a small rural town in Eastern Washington State known as the gateway to area recreation, hiking, fishing, hunting, camping and more.
