EPC World Outreach

What EPC World Outreach does

EPC World Outreach is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious organization that serves as the official international missions agency of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). Its primary function is mobilizing EPC churches and individuals for disciple-making and church planting among unreached peoples, deploying long-term missionaries ("global workers"), supporting diaspora ministries, and partnering with national Christian leaders across five operational global regions.

Its core programmatic offerings include: ITEN (International Theological Education Network), which provides theological training to national leaders across multiple countries; Mission Cohort, a structured engagement and support program for missionaries and their networks; KAIROS, a short-term missions and engagement initiative; CML (Commission to Mission Leadership), a conference convened with co-sponsoring partner organizations and scheduled for Houston in October 2026; The Reach, a recurring newsletter for supporters; and newer programs including the TAG internship, Summer Mission Jam, and WO Workshop that broaden entry pathways for lay participants and younger demographics. The underlying technology stack is conventional nonprofit infrastructure: a website, donation processing platform, email/newsletter distribution, and event-management tooling for conferences and cohorts.

The business model is charitable giving rather than commercial revenue. Funding flows from individual donors, EPC congregations, and limited project-specific grants (e.g., a $35,000 matching grant, $60,000 ITEN project goal, $26,000 Pakistan flood-relief appeal). Anchor supporters include First Presbyterian Church Corinth MS (supporting 50+ missionaries), Grace Community Church, Faith Church, and Memorial Park Church. ECFA accreditation and denominational affiliation provide accountability infrastructure. HQ staffing is small (approximately five employees), while field deployment is materially larger via the commissioned global worker roster refreshed at events such as the EPC General Assembly.

Core offering

EPC World Outreach is the international missions agency of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC), recruiting, training, sending, and supporting global workers (missionaries) to plant reproducing churches among unreached people groups across five world regions. The organization runs theological education through ITEN, mobilizes churches and individuals via KAIROS courses and Mission Cohorts, coordinates disaster relief funds, and publishes resources (books, directory, newsletter) to advance disciple-making among those with the least access to the Gospel.

Product overview

EPC World Outreach offers a diverse portfolio of mission-focused programs and resources rather than a unified technology product. Core offerings include the ITEN (International Theological Education Network) program for training global theological educators, Mission Cohorts for young adult mobilization, and the Reach newsletter for communications. Supporting programs include the KAIROS course, TAG internship, Summer Mission Jam, WO Workshop training, and the World Outreach Directory. Financial support mechanisms include the International Disaster Relief Fund, Critical Needs Fund, Special Projects, and Matching Grant Program. Publication resources include books like 'The Muslim World: A Presbyterian Mandate' and 'Loving Your Muslim Neighbor'. The organization also manages the Greg Livingstone Award and Connecting Mission Leaders conference. Overall structure is a platform of interconnected mission support services rather than a software product.
