Bayamón, Puerto Rico: Westminster Presbyterian Church (WPC), a Reformed, Presbyterian congregation in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, is now an official member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). The Installation Ceremony will be held during the worship service at 10:30 a.m., September 6, at the American School.
This past May, the EPC’s Florida Presbytery approved the admission of both pastors: Rev. Juan Ramón Rivera Medina and Rev. Juan Pérez Aldá to become certified ministers within the denomination. In June, the EPC’s General Assembly approved the Florida Presbytery to expand their boundaries to include the Caribbean. With this approval, the session, along with the entire congregation of the Westminster Presbyterian Church (WPC) in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, was admitted as a member of the EPC denomination.
Last February 2015, the over 250-member former congregation of First Presbyterian Church in Bayamón, in an act of full obedience to Biblical authority, resigned from the PCUSA and declared itself a particular Reformed, Presbyterian congregation, seeking to join the EPC.
Biblical Authority Forum
As part of the EPC Installation activities, a Biblical Authority Forum called “The Authority of the Holy Scriptures: What every Christian should know about the Bible” will be held free of charge at 10 a.m. Sept. 5 at the American School.
The guest speakers for this forum will be:
- Dr. Mike Moses, PhD, moderator of the EPC General Assembly and pastor of Lake Forest Church in Charlotte, North Carolina,
- Rev. Pablo González, minister in the Discipulos de Cristo denomination and Old Testament Professor at Caribbean Theological University;
- Dr. Jules Martinez, PhD, Presbyterian minister and Christology professor at Puerto Rico Theological Seminary and the Puerto Rico Interamerican University; and
- Donald Mason, Presbyterian minister and moderator of the EPC Transfer Committee of Florida Presbytery.
The Reformed Presbyterians and entire Christian community and that defend biblical authority are invited to join both activities. For more information visit: facebook.com/Iglesia Presbiteriana Westminster; www.ipwbpr.org or call at:787-228-1749.

Those who ignore the Biblical authority are victims of the Louisville stench and are trapped in the Pcusa swamp.
The trend continues. When will it stop? We need to know and to proclaim God’s WORD.
Dear Brother Jorge. Love your brotherly Christian heart and your beautiful words for addressing other members of Christ’s body. Your mouth says to follow the authority of the scripture, but your testimony is very poor. Sad. Proclaim the gospel without putting others down or you are no better than those you criticize.
