The Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana traces its origins to the arrival of Bremen Mission (Norddeutsche Missionsgesellschaft) missionaries in 1847 at Peki, marking the beginning of systematic Protestant evangelization among the Ewe people. The church grew significantly in the Volta Region, establishing schools, health facilities, and congregations across Ewe-speaking communities, with Ho developing as a major ecclesiastical center following its establishment as a colonial and later regional capital. The E.P. Church played crucial roles in education and social development in the region, producing many of Ghana's early educated elite and maintaining close fraternal ties with the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.
