The Evangelical Church
The Evangelical Church was born June 4, 1968
in Portland, Oregon, when 46 congregations and
about 80 ministers, under the leadership of V. A.
Ballantyne and George Millen, met in an organizing
session. Within two weeks a group of about 20
churches and 30 ministers from the Evangelical
United Brethren and Methodist churches in
Montana and North Dakota became a part of the
new church. Richard Kienitz and Robert Strutz
were the superintendents.
Under the leadership of Superintendent Robert
Trosen, the former Holiness Methodist Church
became a part of the Evangelical Church in 1969,
bringing its membership and a flourishing mission
field in Bolivia. The Wesleyan Covenant Church
joined in 1977, with its missionary work in
Mexico, in Brownsville, Texas and among the
Navajos in New Mexico.
The Evangelical Church in Canada, where T. J.
Jesske was superintendent, became an autonomous
organization on June 5, 1970. In 1982, after years
of discussions with the Evangelical Church of
North America, a founding General Convention
was held at Billings, Montana, where the two
churches united. In 1993 the Canadian conference
merged with the Canadian portion of the
Missionary Church to form the Evangelical
Missionary Church. The new group maintains
close ties with their American counterparts.
Currently there are nearly 150 U.S. congregations
of the Evangelical Church. The headquarters is
located in Minneapolis, Minnisota.
The following guide the life, program and devotion
of this church- faithful, biblical and sensible
preaching and teaching of those truths proclaimed
