歷史


該联合教会成立于1925年，合并了4个新教教派，60万名成员，包括：加拿大卫理公会（英语：Methodist Church, Canada），安大略省和魁北克的公理會聯盟(Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec)，2/3屬於加拿大长老会教会（英语：Presbyterian Church in Canada）的堂會，以及草原三省的地方联盟教会协会(Association of Local Union Churches)。


加拿大福音同寅会（Canadian Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren Church（英语：Evangelical United Brethren Church））于1968年1月1日加入加拿大联合教会。



组织架构


加拿大联合教会实行4级管理体系，分别是牧师会，长老会，地区协商组织，总理事会。联合教会在2015年通过改革方案，将在2017年6月30日，将组织结构缩减为3级管理架构。



会员资格


会员必须是受洗基督徒。经常在教堂做礼拜的基督徒不会自动成为会员，需要进行认证。



历史


会员在1964年达到110万，达到峰值，自那时起开始下降。从1991年到2001年，联合教会的人数下降了8％。2014年底的教会统计显示，有436,292名受浸成员。[4]
