About us
The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria was founded by United Presbyterian Church of Scotland missionaries led by the Rev. Hope Masterson Waddell on the invitation of King Eyo Honesty II and King Eyamba V. The missionaries arrived in Calabar and founded the first Presbyterian church at Creek Town on 10 April 1846. From Calabar, the church began to grow. In 1858, the Presbytery of Biafra was formed. The Synod of Biafra was formed in 1921. The church experienced rapid growth following the establishment of the Presbyterian Church of Biafra, with the Synod serving as its highest governing body. The church became independent. The Presbyterian Church of Biafra became the Presbyterian Church in East Nigeria in 1952. On June 16, 1960, the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria was established. In 1987, the General Assembly was constituted with two synods.

THE MEETING AT CREEK TOWN 180 YEARS AGO.
(An Imagination with illustration)
Effiom could barely concentrate with Eka Eyo who was pricing palm oil on the river. Effiom sighted a strange ship (Warri) approaching esuk Eyamba and all his mind was on King Eyamba who was equally on the sea selling oil.
Amasi mmi. Effiom screamed; there is a strange ship coming, I thought we had stopped the selling of slaves or did you plan another surprise?
King Eyamba didn’t know what to expect, he had to get to the shure almost immediately.
Effioanwan hurriedly packed her ekpai and left, he was barely ten feet gone when Eka Nko beckon on her to slow down. Effioanwan, eka nko, I have a terrible feeling about this strange ship, did Etteubom Ntribong lie to us that Ammasi Eyamba had abolished the slave trade? Eka Nko screamed almost immediately, Wooyoooo! this is the chance for my drunk husband to sell my only son Effiong for a bottle of ufofop. Effioanwan, we will talk later let me go and hide my son.
At the palace of Eyamba. the king is wondering what that ship came for, he quickly sent for Obong Ekpe, Ettubom Ntribong, and Other Etteuboms.
At the same time, the village is already in chaos as young men and women started running for safety as the white men came out of the ship and headed for the palace. Fear, tension gripped the entire Iboku dwellers.
What could be their Mission?
Asuakak Ediama , the popular drunk had just taken the first sip from the Calabash Ette Ekpo gave him 3minutes ago, on sighting the withes approaching, he jumped up to run and broke his Calabash. He never forgave himself for manhandling himself badly and lossing precious palm wine for fear of the unknown.
Eyo Nsa, the man who had escaped slavery the other time ran to Ekpenyong and prayed for safety, poured some libation. just when he wanted to say something, the Obodom Ekpe came alive interrupting the unexpected silence of the Efik people. The sound of the Obodom was to inform the community that all is not well.
