In 1982 the Evangelical Church was created by the merger of the Evangelical Church of North America and the Northwest Canada Conference Evangelical Church. The ECNA was born June 4, 1968, in Portland Oregon from congregations and ministers who declined to be a part of the United Methodist Church merger. In 1982 the Northwest Canada Conference Evangelical Church, under the name of Evangelical Church in Canada, joined with the Evangelical Church of North America. The joint body was known as The Evangelical Church. This relationship continued until the Northwest Canada Conference Evangelical Church merged with the Missionary Church of Canada in 1993.
