The Evangelical Church or Evangelical Association, also known in the late 1700s as the New Methodist Conference and in the early 1800s as the Albright Brethren, was a "body of American Christians chiefly of German descent".^[1] It was Wesleyan–Arminian in doctrine and theology, as well as Methodist Episcopal in its form of church government.^[2]

In 1946, the majority of the congregations of the Evangelical Church merged with the United Brethren in Christ to form the Evangelical United Brethren Church. Those congregations who did not participate in this merger are represented by the Evangelical Church of North America, along with the Evangelical Congregational Church, both of which continue the tradition of the Albright Brethren.
