Over 100 Years of History
Our Story
Evangel has been a part of downtown Montreal since 1916, founded by Charles Baker, a men’s clothing store owner from Ottawa, whose life was profoundly impacted through Pentecostal church services in the Ottawa area. After his wife was healed of cancer at one of those services, he sold his business, and they moved to Montreal to plant an English-speaking church in the heart of the city. We’ve been here ever since. Although we’ve had opportunities to move to other parts of the city, we’ve never left the downtown. We plan to continue to be a faithful church presence here, serving our community for many years to come.
