 ===History===
-The Canadian Evangelical Christian Church (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.

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.

 === Ministries ===
-The early participants in the Canadian 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.
