Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve.
God comes to us in free and undeserved favor in the person of Jesus Christ who lived, died, and rose for us that we might belong to God and serve Christ in the world. Following Jesus, Presbyterians are engaged in the world and in seeking thoughtful solutions to the challenges of our time.

Our Beliefs
Edgewood Presbyterian Church is a fellowship of friendly, caring, and deeply motivated people from all walks of life. Our members are students, teachers, military, business people, skilled laborers, healthcare professionals, stay-at-home moms, and retirees from many walks of life. We minister to all ages. Most of all, we are dedicated to living our lives for Jesus Christ.
At EPC, we are committed to helping you discover and develop your God given gifts so that you can put them to effective use helping others as you seek to grow ever closer to God through Jesus Christ. No matter who you are, you matter to us because EPC is a place where Every Person Counts.
On Being Presbyterian:
Presbyterians have been around since the 1500’s when the Protestant Reformation took place. Stick around us long enough and you will hear someone use the phrase that we are “reformed and reforming Christians.” That means that as time passes and our understanding of how the Word of God applies to today and how we as Christians can better serve Jesus in our day and time, we are able to continually grow into the messages and missions God sends to us. Here are two links to the Presbyterian Church (USA) web site that give you an overview of who we are.

Our Logos:
The logo for EPC is a simple, yet powerful, expression of our faith depicted in the two trees God once placed in the center of the Garden of Eden. The dark Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil reminds us of our sinful nature that leads to spiritual death and separation from God. The light Tree of Lifer reminds us of God’s offer of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Each of us is called to choose between what is most important to us and what is most important to God. Our logo is a constant reminder of our commitment as a church to help others choose a life lived for God through Jesus Christ over a life lived for oneself. |

The letters EPC hold a dual meaning for our passionate fellowship of believers located in Columbus, Georgia. They stand for Edgewood Presbyterian Church, but they also stand for the principle that guides our life and work together as Christians—namely, where Every Person Counts. Everything we say and do as a church springs from our commitment of Making Disciples where Every Person Counts. The EPC mission logo blends the earliest Christian symbol of a fish (icthus in Greek—an acrostic meaning Jesus Christ God’s Son, Savior) with our mission statement. |
