City Line Church in Bala Cynwyd, Pa., was received into the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) by the Presbytery of the East on May 10, 2025. Situated just outside Philadelphia, City Line Church is a diverse community drawing individuals from various vocations, ethnicities, life stages, and religious backgrounds.
Beginning as a mission church of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) in 2004 and officially established with its own elders and session in 2008, City Line Church has grown into a congregation that values worship centered on Christ, a supportive community, and mission work conducted both locally and globally through word and deed. Their vision emphasizes being inviting, fostering a sense of belonging, and cultivating a sense of wonder about God. The church resonates with the EPC’s commitment to the authority of Scripture, the Westminster Confession of Faith, and a gospel-centered ethos.
Pastor Ryan Egli said, “It was not a singular issue that brought City Line Church to the difficult decision to change denominational affiliation. We were drawn to the missional approach of the EPC and the desire to maintain unity on the essentials and diversity in non-essentials. We’re thankful for the warm reception we’ve already received and are looking forward to continued partnership for the sake of the gospel.”
