The European Christian Political Movement (ECPM) is the only European political party which explicitly works on promoting Christian values in politics. Unlike other European parties, the ECPM focuses on the human being in its relationship to God, other people and the creation. We see this relational thinking as the heart of Christian-democracy. We believe we exist to give voice and elevate people so they are seen and heard. We empower them with knowledge, resources and connections so that they can effectively engage their communities and parliaments and have an impact.
