THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE
Since 1846 the Evangelical Alliance has been dedicated to serving the UK church, uniting evangelicals to make Jesus known. We are comprised of hundreds of organisations, thousands of churches and tens of thousands of individuals, joined together for the sake of the gospel. Existing for over 170 years, the Evangelical Alliance is the oldest and largest evangelical unity movement in the world.
