Good news people in a bad news world.
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 our members
Jesus prayed that the church might be one so that the world might know. Here's how your membership makes that prayer our shared practice.
Unity.
We connect you to a UK-wide community of evangelicals who are praying, serving and learning together - so the church can be one, and the world can know.
Voice.
We speak up at the highest levels of government on the issues that matter to Christians - from free speech to the freedom to share the gospel in public life.
Equipping.
From idea magazine and Speak Up to our resources hub, we equip you with the confidence and tools to make Jesus known wherever you are.
