Who we are
Since 1846, the Evangelical Alliance has been sharing the gospel, lifting voices of hope and building unity.
We are the oldest and largest evangelical unity movement in the UK, joining together thousands of individuals, churches and organisations as together we make Jesus known.
We love Jesus and want everyone in the UK to be given an opportunity to know Him. We love His church, and will do all we can to unite evangelicals, build confidence in the gospel and speak as a trusted voice into society to see it changed for Him.
We exist to serve you, our members.
And so we make the following commitments to you:
Relationship.
We promise to introduce you to like-minded Christians representing the breadth of the evangelical church in the UK. When you join us, you join a community saturated in prayer, sharing best practice, ideas, experience, support and encouragement.
Representation.
We promise to champion the freedoms we have in the UK to have a public faith in Jesus and share that faith with others. We will represent the needs and interests of the church in politics, the media and civil society, speaking out on issues that matter, with a hope-filled, trustworthy and confident voice.
Resource.
We promise to share the wealth of resources, expertise and ideas of our members with our members. With the gospel at the very heartbeat of who we are, we will provide you with excellent, credible resources to help you to share the good news of Jesus.

“We joined the Evangelical Alliance because partnership in Christ enables us to support and encourage one another in our mission.”
— Tim Jeffery, CEO, Torch Trust, members since 1963
“Being a Christian from a South Asian background can be quite isolating, so we’re building a network of people who can understand one another from a cultural perspective and be a sounding board.”
— Rani Joshi, one of our South Asian Forum champions
“We are working together, as the body of Christ, so that Jesus’ great commission is accomplished on earth. Our unity is the only way to see God’s kingdom advance across our country and the world.”
