History of Evangel  

History of Evangel  

Evangel was founded in 1937 and had it's first meeting in 1939. Since 1946, Evangel has been a part of the Assemblies of God, a world-wide Spirit-filled cooperative fellowship that serves Jesus Christ as Lord with a passion to reach the lost all around the world. 

In the mid-1960s, a group of faith-filled believers bought the plot of land on the northwest side of Milwaukee where our church stands today still. They turned a farm field into a place for a church, and in 1968, Evangel Assembly of God was born. The early church members of Evangel worshiped in the sanctuary that is now our chapel, but they soon outgrew that space! Under Pastor Joel Pavia, a new sanctuary was built, and in the late 80s/early 90s, we added a gymnasium and more rooms for Sunday School and other classes. 

In 2001, Pastor Jay Fischer started as our youth pastor, and in November 2005, he became our lead pastor and has been leading Evangel faithfully for over 20 years now. With a heart for connecting people, seeing the church grow, and reaching the community where Evangel is, Pastor Jay and the believers at Evangel are continuing the mission that was started here 57 years ago.
