Apostolic Succession
The EPC GCEPC/LEPC is in historic and valid Apostolic Succession (AS). AS is not required for salvation or for the ordaining of ministers in the LEPC but is done upon request by the laying on of hands for those who understand and value the process and desires this honor. AS serves as a further encouragement and support in the ministry as well as a channel for open doors among certain people groups.
