. Jacob Albrecht was a German farmer who organized classes for the Methodist church and saw many new converts. Some of these wished to worship in German so they formed The Evangelical Association in 1816, which steadily grew in numbers. In 1891 a group broke away and became the United Evangelical Church. However in 1922 the two groups re-united and became the Evangelical Church. It is this group that first began work in Canada forming the Canada Conference.
In 1944 Rev. A. G. Knopp opened a Bible school in Vancouver in the basement of a private home. The school originally was an extension of Regina Bible Institute. It later moved to the Grace Evangelical United Brethren Church after the 1946 merger. The school closed in 1953 when Rev. Knopp was transferred to another pastorate. Originally named Western Bible Institute, the name was later changed to Evangelical Bible Institute.
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.

Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada
The EMCC was created in 1993 by the merger of the Northwest Canada Conference Evangelical Church and the Missionary Church of Canada with its two districts: Canada East and Canada West. As of July 1, 2005 the EMCC restructured resulting in each district becoming a corporation whose purpose was to hold property and handle designated funds. The districts’ other responsibilities were assumed by the Denomination. In 2011 these district operations were also assumed by the Denomination and their existence subsequently ended.
