Church History


The Evangelical Congregational Church began as a result of a great void. Following the Revolutionary War, the frontier began moving westward faster than the Church's witness. Men called by God were needed to carry the messge about Jesus and the new life He offers to these new settlements. Jacob Albright answered this call. The Evangelical Association sprang from this humble beginning and came to be known as the Evangelical Congregational Church. The denomination is now international and is known for its zeal and vibrant faith; "To Know Christ and To Make Him Known".

EVANGELICAL FROM THE BEGINNING

A book on the history of the Evangelical Congregational Church is now available.  Evangelical from the Beginning tells the story of our denomination from its beginning in the early nineteenth century revivals in Eastern Pennsylvania to its present global outreach.
