The European Christian Political Movement (ECPM) is a political party at European level that unites national parties from across Europe that share Christian democratic politics. The member parties are generally more socially conservative and Eurosceptic than the European People's Party. The ECPM unites parties with a Christian social view.
The party was founded in November 2002 in Lakitelek, Hungary. It elected its first board in January 2005, and was registered in the Netherlands in September 2005. The first ECPM president was Peeter Võsu of the Party of Estonian Christian Democrats. The party has thirty members from across sixteen countries. Youth movements are welcome in the European Christian Political Youth Network that started in 2004 and installed its first board in summer 2005.
The ECPM has five Members of the European Parliament: Peter van Dalen of ChristianUnion (NL), Bas Belder of the Dutch Reformed Party (NL), Branislav Škripek of OL'aNO (SK), Arne Gericke of Family Party of Germany (DE) and Marek Jurek of Right Wing of the Republic (PL), who sit with the European Conservatives and Reformists.
