The [[Evangelical Christian Church in Canada]], also known as Christian Disciples, is a mainstream fellowship of churches, ministries and clergy in Canada.

===History===

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada (Christian Disciples) traces its beginnings to the formal organization of the [[Christian Church]] in 1804, in Bourbon County, Kentucky, under the leadership of [[Barton Warren Stone]] (1772-1844). The Stone movement later merged with the efforts of [[Thomas Campbell]] (1763-1844), and his son [[Alexander Campbell]] (1788-1866), to become the Restoration Movement that gave birth to the [[Churches of Christ]] (Non-Instrumental), the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, and the [[Christian Church (Disciples of Christ]]). The Evangelical Christian Church, as a new group within the Restoration tradition was reorganisied in 2001.

During the early twentieth century, many Restorationist churches not affiliated with the three larger Restoration bodies existed under such names as Canadian Evangelical Christian Churches, Evangelical Christian Churches, Christian Churches of North America, Christian Missionary Churches, Bible Evangelical Churches, Community Churches, Evangelical Congregational Churches,[[ Congregation Christian Churches]], and the Evangelical Protestant Churches which traces its historic roots to various[[ Lutheran]] and Reformed churches from Germany in 1720. The Congregational Christian Church itself was a product of a merger in 1931, between the Congregational Church and a number of Christian Churches. The Congregational Church was formed in Germany before migrating to the United States and Canada. Some of these congregations that have not been otherwise absorbed, continue as the Evangelical Christian Churches, Albany, Indiana.

===Central Office===

The Central Office of The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada is 125 Lincoln Rd. #410, Waterloo, Ontario N2J 2N9.

=== Leadership ===

* Dr. David Lavigne

* Rev. Douglas Anderson

* Rev. Gord Horsley

* Dr. Dave Hunter

* Dr. Gary Barkman

* Dr. Steve Smethers

* Rev. Cythnia Lavigne

===Purpose===

The church is named "The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada - Christian Disciples" in the light of Paul's message in the gospel of [[Matthew]] 28:19:

: "Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada has a commitment to restore the church to the New Testament pattern.

===Organization and Structure===

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada is headed by the Bishop (General Superintendent). Provincial District Superintendents report to the General Superintendent and oversee the various activities that take place in their districts or regions.

=== Ministries ===

The early participants in the Evangelical Christian Church (Christian Disciples) consisted of those who came away from a variety of [[fundamental]], evangelical denominations, not in an attempt to [[reform]] any particular [[denomination]], but rather in an effort to [["restore"]] the "original" church according to the [[New Testament]] pattern. They believed that [[history]] was moving toward a spiritual climax where God's power will be poured out on the church. [[Restorationist]] promoters understood that this supernatural move could be the Lord's final move where the church will be endued with power to Christianize the world before Jesus returns. In order for this dominion pursuit to be realized, the [[Five-fold ministry]] expounded in [[Ephesians 4:11]] ([[apostles,]] [[prophets]], [[evangelists]], [[pastors]] and [[teachers]]) needed to be [[commissioned]] by the Church and given to exercise their spiritual [[gifts]] and authority in the church of Jesus Christ.

=== Sacraments ===

The Evangelical Christian Church (Christian Disciples) believes that Jesus Christ instituted two sacraments as instruments of His grace:
* [[Baptism]] is limited to those old enough to make a profession of faith, and is commonly administered by immersion
* [[The Lord's Supper]] is a weekly ordinance which is given to all believers in Christ.

[[The washing of feet]] is also an ordinance that is practiced by all Christians in obedience to Christ's commands found in the scriptures.

===Doctrine===

The Evangelical Christian Church (Christian Disciples)does not advocate [[extremism]] or fanaticism but does consider the [[Bible]] as authoritative.

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada's eleven Articles of Faith are considered to be their definitive doctrinal statement:

# The [[Bible]] as the written Word of God
# The [[virgin birth]] of Jesus
# The [[Deity of Christ]]
# The Person and work of the [[Holy Spirit]]
# The [[Trinity]]
# Salvation through the [[Atonement]]
# The guidance of our life through [[prayer]]
# The death and [[resurrection]] of Christ
# The return of the Savior
# The resurrection of the [[redeemed]] and the[[ lost]]
# The [[millennial]] Reign of Christ

The church does not advocate any other [[doctrine]] unless it "lines up and is consistent with the whole counsel of God's Word and does not engender fear or confusion." Ministers and clergy have freedom of conscience and the [[liberty]] to hold other personal opinions or other Christian doctrinal beliefs, for example, pertaining to [[dress code]], hair length, observations of days, and informal or formal worship.

===Training ===

In 1997, The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada started their ministerial training centre which was named the "School of Christian Ministry". In 2007, the school was renamed to '''Waterloo Bible College'''. The school operates in areas of Christian counselling, house churches, and church planting. The campus is in Waterloo, Ontario, the technology capital of [[Canada]].

In order for this dominion pursuit to be realized, the [[Five-fold ministry]] expounded in [[Ephesians 4:11]] ([[apostles,]] [[prophets]], [[evangelists]], [[pastors]] and [[teachers]]) needed to be [[commissioned]] by the Church and given to exercise their spiritual [[gifts]] and authority in the church of Jesus Christ.

=== Sacraments ===

The Evangelical Christian Church believes that Jesus Christ instituted two sacraments as instruments of His grace:
* [[Baptism]] is limited to those old enough to make a profession of faith, and is commonly administered by immersion
* [[The Lord's Supper]] is a weekly ordinance which is given to all believers in Christ.

[[The washing of feet]] is also an ordinance that is practised by all Christians in obedience to Christ's commands found in the scriptures.

===Doctrine===

The Canadian ECC does not advocate [[extremism]] or fanaticism but does consider the [[Bible]] as authoritative.

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada's Ten Articles of Faith are considered to be their definitive doctrinal statement:

# The [[Bible]] as the written Word of God
# The [[virgin birth]] of Jesus
# The [[Deity of Christ]]
# The Person and work of the [[Holy Spirit]]
# The [[Trinity]]
# Salvation through the [[Atonement]]
# The guidance of our life through [[prayer]]
# The death and [[resurrection]] of Christ
# The return of the Saviour
# The [[millennial]] Reign of Christ

The church does not advocate any other [[doctrine]] unless it "lines up and is consistent with the whole counsel of God's Word and does not engender fear or confusion." Ministers and clergy may hold other personal opinions or other Christian doctrinal beliefs, for example, pertaining to [[dress code]], hair length, observations of days, and informal or formal worship.

===Training ===

In 1997, The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada started their ministerial training centre which was named the "School of Christian Ministry". In 2007, the school was renamed to '''Waterloo Bible College'''. The school operates in areas of Christian counselling, house churches, and church planting. The campus is in Waterloo, Ontario, the technology capital of [[Canada]].

'''The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada (Christian Disciples),''' as a religion in Canada, is a fellowship of churches, ministries and clergy.

===History===

The Evangelical Christian Church traces its beginnings to the formal organization of the [[Christian Church]] in 1804, in Bourbon County, Kentucky, under the leadership of Barton Warren Stone (1772-1844), The Stone movement later merged with the efforts of[[ Thomas Campbell]] (1763-1844), and his son[[ Alexander Campbell]] (1788-1866), to become the Restoration Movement that gave birth to the [[Churches of Christ]] (Non-Instrumental), the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, and the [[Christian Church (Disciples of Christ]]). The Evangelical Christian Church, as a new group within the Restoration tradition was reorganizied in 2001.

===Central Office===

The Central Office of The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada is: 125 Lincoln Rd. #410, Waterloo, Ontario N2J 2N9.
=== '''Leadership''' ===

* Dr. David Lavigne

* Rev. Douglas Anderson,

* Rev. Gord Horsley,

* Dr. Dave Hunter,

* Dr. Gary Barkman,

* Dr. Steve Smethers

* Rev. Cythnia Lavigne

===Purpose===

The church is named the "The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada - Christian Disciples" in the light of Paul's message in [[Ephesians 4]]:11-12:
: {{Bible verse|Ephesians|4|11|lang=WEB}}
: {{Bible verse|Ephesians|4|12|lang=WEB}}

The Canadian ECC has a commitment to restore the church to the New Testament pattern.

===Organization and Structure===

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada is headed by the General Superintendent. Provincial District Superintendents report to the General Superintendent and oversee the various activities that take place in their districts or regions.

== '''Ministries''' ==

The early participants in the Evangelical Christian Church (Christian Disciples) consisted, of those who came away from a variety of [[fundamental]], evangelical denominations, not in an attempt to [[reform]] any particular [[denomination]], but rather in an effort to [["restore"]] the "original" church according to the [[New Testament]] pattern. They believed that [[history]] was moving toward a spiritual climax where God's power will be poured out on the church.[[ Restorationist]] promoters understood that this supernatural move could be the Lord's final move where the church will be endued with power to Christianize the world before Jesus returns. In order for this dominion pursuit to be realized, the [[Five-fold ministry]] expounded in Eph. 4:11 ([[apostles,]] [[prophets]], [[evangelists]], [[pastors]] and [[teachers]]) needed to be [[commissioned]] by the Church at large and given to excercise their spiritual[[ gifts]] and authority in the church of Jesus Christ.

== '''Sacraments''' ==

The Evangelical Christian Church believes that Jesus Christ instituted two sacraments as instruments of His grace, and they are found in [[baptism]], which is limited to those old enough to make a profession of faith, and is commonly administered by immersion. [[The Lord's Supper]] is a weekly performed ordinance which is given to all believers in Christ. [[The washing of feet]] is also an ordinance that is practiced by all Christians in obedience to Christ commands found in the scriptures.

===Doctrine===

The Canadian ECC does not advocate [[extremism]] or fanaticism but does consider the [[Bible]] as authoritative.

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada's Ten Articles of Faith are considered to be their definitive doctrinal statement:

# The [[Bible]] as the written Word of God
# The [[virgin]] birth of Jesus
# The [[Deity of Chirst]]
# The Person and work of the [[Holy Spirit]]
# The [[Trinity]]
# Salvation through the [[Atonement]]
# The guidance of our life through prayer
# The death and [[resurrection]] of Christ
# The return of the Saviour
# The [[millennial]] Reign of Christ

The church do not advocate any other [[doctrine]] unless it "lines up and is consistent with the whole counsel of God's Word and does not engender fear or confusion." CECC ministers and clergy may hold other personal opinions or other Christian doctrinal beliefs, for example, pertaining to [[dress code]], hair length or observations of days, and informal or formal worship.

===Training ===

In 1997, The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada started their ministerial training centre which was named the School of Christian Ministry. In 2007, the school was renamed to '''Waterloo Bible College'''. The school operates in areas of Christian counselling, house churches, and church planting. The campus is in Waterloo, Ontario, the technology capital of [[Canada]].

== '''Colleges & universities''' ==

* Canada Chinese Evangelical Seminary

* [[Waterloo Bible College]]

* [[Beyond the Walls Life Coach Insitute]]

* [[Caribbean Divinity University & Seminary]]

[[The Lord's Supper]] is a weekly performed ordinance which is given to all believers in Christ. [[The washing of feet]] is also an ordinance that is practiced by all Christians in obedience to Christ commands found in the scriptures.

===Doctrine===

The Canadian ECC does not advocate [[extremism]] or fanaticism but does consider the [[Bible]] as authoritative.

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada's Ten Articles of Faith are considered to be their definitive doctrinal statement:

# The [[Bible]] as the written Word of God
# The [[virgin]] birth of Jesus
# The [[Deity of Chirst]]
# The Person and work of the [[Holy Spirit]]
# The [[Trinity]]
# Salvation through the [[Atonement]]
# The guidance of our life through prayer
# The death and [[resurrection]] of Christ
# The return of the Saviour
# The [[millennial]] Reign of Christ

The church do not advocate any other [[doctrine]] unless it "lines up and is consistent with the whole counsel of God's Word and does not engender fear or confusion." CECC ministers and clergy may hold other personal opinions or other Christian doctrinal beliefs, for example, pertaining to [[dress code]], hair length or observations of days, and informal or formal worship.

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada (Christian Disciples), as a religion in Canada, is a fellowship of churches, ministries and clergy.

===History===

The Evangelical Christian Church traces its beginnings to the formal organization of the [[Christian Church]] in 1804, in Bourbon County, Kentucky, under the leadership of Barton Warren Stone (1772-1844), The Stone movement later merged with the efforts of[[ Thomas Campbell]] (1763-1844), and his son[[ Alexander Campbell]] (1788-1866), to become the Restoration Movement that gave birth to the [[Churches of Christ]] (Non-Instrumental), the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, and the [[Christian Church (Disciples of Christ]]). The Evangelical Christian Church, as a new group within the Restoration tradition was reorganizied in 2001.

===Central Office===

The Central Office of The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada is: 125 Lincoln Rd. #410, Waterloo, Ontario N2J 2N9.
=== '''Leadership''' ===

The Bishop is:

* Dr. David Lavigne

:Other leaders include:

* Rev. Douglas Anderson,

* Rev. Gord Horsley,

* Dr. Dave Hunter,

* Dr. Gary Barkman,

* Dr. Steve Smethers

* Rev. Cythnia Lavigne

===Purpose===

The church is named the "The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada - Christian Disciples" in the light of Paul's message in [[Ephesians 4]]:11-12:
: {{Bible verse|Ephesians|4|11|lang=WEB}}
: {{Bible verse|Ephesians|4|12|lang=WEB}}

The Canadian ECC has a commitment to restore the church to the New Testament pattern.

===Organization and Structure===

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada is headed by the General Superintendent. Provincial District Superintendents report to the General Superintendent and oversee the various activities that take place in their districts or regions.

== '''Ministries''' ==

The early participants in the Evangelical Christian Church (Christian Disciples) consisted, of those who came away from a variety of [[fundamental]], evangelical denominations, not in an attempt to [[reform]] any particular [[denomination]], but rather in an effort to [["restore"]] the "original" church according to the [[New Testament]] pattern. They believed that [[history]] was moving toward a spiritual climax where God's power will be poured out on the church.[[ Restorationist]] promoters understood that this supernatural move could be the Lord's final move where the church will be endued with power to Christianize the world before Jesus returns. In order for this dominion pursuit to be realized, the [[Five-fold ministry]] expounded in Eph. 4:11 ([[apostles,]] [[prophets]], [[evangelists]], [[pastors]] and [[teachers]]) needed to be [[commissioned]] by the Church at large and given to excercise their spiritual[[ gifts]] and authority in the church of Jesus Christ.

== '''Sacraments''' ==

The Evangelical Christian Church believes that Jesus Christ instituted two sacraments as instruments of His grace, and they are found in [[baptism]], which is limited to those old enough to make a profession of faith, and is commonly administered by immersion.

== Who We Are ==

The name, The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada - Christian Disciples is found in the light of Paul's message in Ephesians 4:11,12: "And he gave some, [[apostles]]; and some, [[prophets]]; ans some, [[evangelists]]; and some [[pastors]] and [[teachers]]; for the perfecting of the[[ saints]], for the work of the[[ ministry]], for the edifying of the body of Christ." The Canadian ECC has a strong commitment to enable Christians from varied backgrounds who are called of God to active ministry and service to the body of Christ. It started with believers being called different names from the very first "[[disciples]]" in [[Jerusalem]], and "Christians" at [[Antioch]] which birthed the vision of The Canadian ECC to restore the church to the New Testament pattern.

=== '''Organization and Structure''' ===

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada is headed by the General Superintendent who has general and active management of the affairs of the Church. Provincial District Superintendents report to the General Superintendent and oversee the various activities that take place in their districts or regions. The board of directors administers the affairs of all clergy and churches of the CECC.

The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada is not committed to [[ecclesiastical]] standards or man-made doctrines. The Canadian ECC does not advocate [[extremism]] or fanaticism of any kind. On the other hand, if judged by the [[Word of God]] as authoritative, the doctrinal position of The Canadian ECC is [[fundamentally]] sound and many are attracted to it by its evangelical and orthodox character. The Canadian ECC belives these to be the first and foremost doctrines of the Bible

=== '''Doctrine''' ===

The CECC's Ten Articles of Faith are considered to be their definitive doctrinal statement:

1. The [[Bible]] as the written Word of God

2. The [[virgin]] birth of Jesus

3. The [[Deity]] of Jesus the Christ

4. The Person and work of the [[Holy Spirit]]

5. The [[Trinity]]

6. Salvation through the [[Atonement]]

7. The guidance of our life through prayer

8. The death and [[resurrection]] of Christ

9. The return of the Saviour

10. The [[millennial]] Reign of Christ
