Biografie
George Edward Epp (1885-1970) was an Evangelical United Brethren bishop and administrator. He was recommended to the ministry by the congregation in Port Washington, Wisconsin. Epp received his theological education at Evangelical Theological Seminary in Naperville, Illinois. Following graduation, he was ordained and received into membership in the Wisconsin Conference of the Evangelical Association.
In 1921, he became executive secretary of the Missionary Society of the Evangelical Association. He was reelected to that office in 1922, following the merger of the United Evangelical Church and the Evangelical Association. He remained executive secretary of the Missionary Society until 1930, when he was elected bishop, a position he held for twenty-eight years. Epp retired in 1958.
