The Evangelical Community in Congo was established by Swedish missionaries, the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden, in 1881.
The center of their activities was in Lower Congo, where British and American Baptist had already established mission points.
The Svenska Missionsförbundet and the Baptists shared the beliefs of credobaptism.
The first year of the new denomination was marked by a revival of Pentecostal movement, but later it became more conscious of their Reformed heritage.
