The term evangelical derives from the Greek word euangelion meaning “gospel” or “good news” (evangel). The term evangelische kirche (“evangelical church”) emerged during the Reformation to connote a return to authentic Christianity as represented in the New Testament. Evangelical refers to a person, church, or organization that is committed to the Christian gospel message that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of humanity and is taken to mean those “born again” who cherish the Bible as absolutely authoritative and trustworthy. Evangelicals are defined by their beliefs and faith not subculture. By definition, evangelicals are focussed on sharing the “good news”, the “evangel” or Gospel.

*MTC interprets this definition of the term evangelical with reference to the MTC Statement of Faith.
