Evangel Pentecostal Church

What Evangel Pentecostal Church does

Evangel Pentecostal Church is a registered nonprofit religious organization headquartered in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with its mailing address at 2152 Rue Sainte-Catherine O. (the Lighthouse) and its main sanctuary at 1235 Rue Lambert Closse. Founded in 1916 by Charles Baker, a former Ottawa clothing merchant whose wife was reportedly healed of cancer, the church has maintained continuous operations in the downtown core for over a century despite opportunities to relocate. It is affiliated with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC), subscribes to the PAOC Statement of Essential Truths, and affirms the Nicene Creed. The organization is led by Lead Pastor Patti Miller and a volunteer Lead Team, and operates with a small staff of approximately eight to ten paid personnel covering worship and media, youth and young adults, children's and family ministry, connections and membership, and back-office operations (finance/HR and facility/rentals).

The church delivers faith-based services across a structured ministry ecosystem targeting multiple demographic segments: Sunday worship services at 10:30 a.m. onsite and online, nursery through age 12 children's ministry, youth ministry for grades 5-11, young adults ministry for ages 17-30+, the Celebrate Recovery Christ-centered 12-step program, the Alpha faith-exploration course, 3Q ConnectGroup Bible study, prayer meetings, water baptism, and voting membership classes. Distribution channels are dual-mode: physical onsite attendance at the downtown Montreal building and digital delivery via YouTube live streaming, a dedicated mobile app, and a Mailchimp-powered email newsletter. Targeted audiences include international students (notably through partnerships with McGill University and local CEGEPs), newcomers to Canada, families with children, and individuals in addiction or life transition. The organization also supports an extensive network of missionaries globally, including child-care and church-planting initiatives in Guatemala, Haiti, Slovakia/Eurasia, Uganda, Ukraine, and Spain, coordinated partly through the PAOC Missions Global network and Mission Canada.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from the congregation, with no fees charged for services or programs. Giving is accepted via online digital giving (credit/debit card), in-person cash, cheque, and debit/credit terminals, and by mail. The church does not publish financial statements or revenue figures. Aside from donations, ancillary income is generated through facility rentals managed by the Operations team. There is no equity ownership, parent company, or external funding; governance is provided by the Lead Pastor and volunteer Lead Team. The technology footprint is light and consumer-grade, consisting of a SnapPages-hosted website, YouTube streaming, a branded mobile app, Zoom for virtual groups, and Mailchimp for newsletter distribution.
