HISTORY

History of Willakenzie Church

Planted in the 1950s, Willakenzie Church has been a cornerstone in the Eugene Community.

Willakenzie is part of a greater community of believers in the Pacific Northwest!

The origin of The Evangelical Church can be traced back to the Wesleyan movement in England under John Wesley, the founder of The Methodist Church. It is distinctly a North American church, having had its beginnings in the great spiritual awakening which visited the early colonists in the new world after the middle of the eighteenth century. 

Like the early Methodists they preached the pure Word of God, and declared that men can be saved from sin, through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, and that this experience must be followed by a life of dedication and holiness.
