The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada, as a Religion religion in Canada, is a fellowship of churches, ministries and clergy.
===History===
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.
