The communion chalice and bread represent the key channel of health and wholeness for all God's people who partake it in faith, while believing in the most powerful words of Christ, "This is my body, this is my blood" (1 Cor. 11:24, 25; John 6:35). The Evangelical Christian Church in Canada believes in the importance of spiritual unity, (Eph. 4:3) liberty, (2 Cor.3:17) and diversity ( 1 Pet. 2:9) in the body of Christ. Our 200 years of history has recorded those miraculous healings that were released around the Lord's Table during the Second Awakening when Christians from all denominations came together in faith to break bread together. The cross represents the finish work of Christ for the forgiveness of sins. This has become the a fundamental ordinance reflecting our unity and freedom in Christ found in the words of Jesus on the cross, "It is finished" - Shalom forever! (John 19:20).

After centuries of Christianity, men tried to cause change from inside of the system, they have formed groups honestly trying to be God's movement. These forerunners who tried to return to the Bible must be appreciated for their faith, their conviction, and determination. In these days, we are facing those denominations, who rest on doctrinal systems that are full of compromise, and that ultimately are not based on God's word. Nevertheless, there is a continuous call for all men and women to make the scriptures their sole authority. The restoration of Christianity as it was in the first century is possible when we abandon the other systems and their foundation.

We are convinced that the perfect biblical model of the church is found in the holy scriptures and that we have the solemn task to be this same church in the 21st century. We do not believe in labels that separate us from our brothers and sisters found in other denominations. If we want to be this church, established by the Christ, it is necessary to make the effort to know the church through the holy scriptures, the Holy Spirit, and daily prayer.

What Jesus taught, is written in the gospels, and also in the writings of the apostles. These teachings and His instructions are accessible to everyone who receive it by faith through God's grace. All we need to do is take hold of these precepts, by trusting, and focusing on Christ alone.

This is our dream as Christians, and we seek nothing more than to serve Christ, to study His word, and live out the truth of God. Our purpose is to raise up many ministers who will trust God, live His word and be disciples of Christ - Disciples who are willing to wash the feet of other disciples (Christians). This is the meaning behind the logo of the Evangelical Christian Church (Christian Disciples) world-wide.

In the beautiful name of Adony Yah Shua Messiah (Jesus)
