Ward Evangelical Presbyterian Church

Ward Evangelical Presbyterian Church

Ward Evangelical Presbyterian Church is located in Northville Township, Michigan, outside of Detroit.

History

Ward started on May 1, 1956 in the Lincoln School in Livonia, Michigan. In 1960, Ward relocated to Farmington and 6 Mile roads. As the church was growing, Ward kept expanding. In 1972, an 1,100 seat sanctuary was opened, and in 1978, Knox Hall, Calvin Room, Children's and Student ministry spaces were completed. Ward also planted three daughter churches: Trinity Presbyterian Church in Plymouth in 1979, Grace Chapel in Farmington Hills in 1983, and Cornerstone Presbyterian Church in Brighton in 1986 [http://www.wardepc.org/clientimages/1702/spsc/wardhistory.pdf Church Governance] ] . In 1980, liberalism was infiltering Ward's former denomination, the United Presbyterian Church (now the Presbyterian Church (USA)). The church decided to withdraw from the denomination, and it was instrumental in the creation of its current denomination, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church [ [http://www.epc.org/about-the-epc/history/ Evangelical Presbyterian Church > History] ] . In 1983, Ward purchased land at its current site at 6 Mile and Haggerty in Northville Township, and was completed in March 1998. Ward Evangelical Presbyterian Church celebrated 50 years of ministry on May 2006.

Pastor

Dr. Bartlett L. Hess was the founding pastor, who served from 1956 to 1992. Dr. James McGuire was called as senior pastor on October 1995 and served until September 2006. Rev. Joel Eidsness is now Interim Senior Pastor.

The original site at 6 Mile and Farmington is being restored by a member of the congregation using the original blueprints.
