Evangelical Assoc. / Evangelical Church
. 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 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.
