The Evangelical Orthodox Church (EOC), founded on January 15, 1979, is an Eastern Protestant Christian denomination established by former leaders of Campus Crusade for Christ, who, reacting against the Jesus People movement, developed their own synthesis of Evangelicalism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Shepherding Movement principles.
