The Presbyterian Church in Rwanda (EPR) was formed in 1907 from the work of the Bethel Mission. It became independent in 1962. Five ordained pastors, 77 evangelists and 52 church workers serve 150,000 members in twelve districts.

The EPR tries to maintain a balance between teaching the biblical message and social involvement through its hospitals, schools and development projects. In the area of evangelism, the church emphasizes the teaching of a transformative gospel in a situation where many new churches and groups are preaching a message that leads people away from the current realities of the country and society and invites them to flee to heaven.
