The Independent Evangelical Catholic Church, more commonly known as the Evangelical Catholic Church, is a validly concecrated Catholic faith community that is part of the historical independent catholic movement and deeply rooted in historic apostolic succession and should not be confused with another jurisdiction named Evangelical Catholic Church, which is not a western catholic body.

The Evangelical Catholic Church erected and consecrated by the Most Reverend Robert W. Martin in Chicago on July 17, 1997. The Reverend James Alan Wilkowski was ordained its first bishop and become Bishop for the new Evangelical Catholic Diocese of the Northwestern United States.
