The Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (''Ewe:Presbyteria Nyanyui Hame le Ghana'') is a Protestant Christian denomination in Ghana. It is popularly referred to as the "EP Church". It has strong roots in the Evangelical and Reformed traditions. ==History== It was founded by German missionaries on November 14 1847 in Peki.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=202787 )〕 These missionaries from the North German Mission Society (''Norddeutsche Mission, Bremen''), together with the Basel Mission in 1847 started work among the Ewe people in what is now the Volta Region of Ghana. By the beginning of World War I, there were two mission stations in the British colony of the Gold Coast and seven in the German territory of Togoland. The first of the mission stations was (Mission-Tove) in present day Togo. After the war, Togoland was divided into two territories, the western one under British rule and the eastern one under French rule. The first synod of the mission stations in May 1922, despite the division of Togoland, declared itself the supreme governing body of the one “Ewe Church.” The church adopted the congregational order of the Bremen Mission. In 1923, Scottish missionaries began working in British Togo (Transvolta Togoland) which is now present day Volta Region of Ghana. The church in French Togoland (now Togo) was run by the Paris Mission. This led to separate development of the two halves though both churches share the same constitution. They also hold a common synod meeting every 4 years.
