Northwest Canada Conference Evangelical Church
The Northwest Canada Conference Evangelical Church was begun as a mission conference of the Canada Conference in 1899. In 1927 the NWCC was organized and, in 1928, granted a charter by an act of Parliament under the name “Northwest Canada Conference Evangelical Church.” The NWCC partnered with partner denominations throughout its history until it was granted autonomy in 1970 by the United Methodist Church. The Canadian charter was amended in 1992. In 1982 the Conference joined with the Evangelical Church of North America to form the Evangelical Church. The Conference merged with the Missionary Church of Canada in 1993 to form the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada.

Mountain View Bible College opened in 1926 in Didsbury. It had been preceded by Edmonton Bible Institute and short term Bible classes taught in Didsbury by Rev. Alvin Traub. The College operated until 1992 when it merged with Hillcrest Christian College and became Rocky Mountain College: A Centre for Biblical Studies. MVBC trained pastors and missionaries and Christian laymen. Its Didsbury campus was essentially built on faith going through several renovations and additions. The completion of a new men's residence and a educational centre resulted following a decision to remain on the Didsbury campus and modernize. It began offering degrees in 1950. Its application for accreditation was withdrawn, after the College achieved candidate status, because of low enrolments. At that time a new study of the viability of the College was undertaken in conjunction with the supporting denomination, the Canada West District of the Missionary Church of Canada. That process resulted in merger in 1992 and, the following year, the merger of the denominations supporting the two colleges.
The Morse Mission included three congregations: Morse / Hodgeville, Glen Bain, and Rush Lake. The work began south of Morse, where the first pastors lived, in 1914, with a church erected in 1916. The building was moved to Hodgeville in 1964. Congregations were also established near Glen Bain and Rush Lake. The field closed in 1986.
The work in Morris, Manitoba, opened in 1911. A new church was dedicated in 1939 and a new parsonage in 1946. The 1950 flood severely damaged the buildings but ministry continued until the work closed in 1994.
