We believe that the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus has had the most profound effect on human history. The understanding that our identity, our purpose and the shape of our relationships all stem from Jesus’ saving working on the cross, means that it’s not just the vision of what we can do, but of whose we are, that drives us forward.
Like the evangelicals who have gone before us; those who abolished the slave trade, those who reformed our justice system, those who championed education for all; we are dedicated to blessing those around us as we worship God with all that we have and all that we are.
Today it is evangelicals who at the heart of debt counselling, street pastors, night shelters and food-banks. Today it is active evangelical faith, in politics, education, evangelism, church planting, the arts and every other aspect of culture; which is making a profound difference throughout our communities for the sake of the gospel. We speak up on behalf of those who are maligned and marginalised, affirming freedoms, and proclaiming the good news of Jesus in words and in action.
The future offers the Evangelical Alliance, and our members, both phenomenal opportunities and profound challenges. All around us we see change. People are entering into a relationship with Jesus in numbers we have not seen in decades. We celebrate good news stories of church growth, Christian favour and God’s blessing from every part of our membership.
But we also face political, economic and cultural uncertainty; Brexit, the future of our political union, and the UK’s international relationships all serve to compound a sense of flux and shift. Not only this but we are also facing increasing opposition to biblical orthodoxy from many aspects of society; politicians, the media and cultural influencers, who seek to weaken our voice and reach. But no matter what changes or challenges we face, we know that God is faithful.
The Evangelical Alliance is confident and ready. We offer God what we have been entrusted with, to use as He wills. With open hands and open hearts, we trust in Him who gives us hope and a future
Our Values
We are a Christ-centred organisation that seeks to be:
Prayerful – we seek to discern God’s will and be led by His voice. We pray wholeheartedly with and for each other and for our work, giving thanks in all circumstances.
Relational – we value good relationships. We are committed to being brave and kind as we communicate, collaborate and celebrate with our staff team, our members, the wider church and all those we work with.
Servant hearted – we find joy in serving others. We give generously of our time, encouragement and talents, always seeking to be a blessing to those around us.
Trustworthy – we are a high trust and highly trusted organisation. Rooted in truth we work with integrity, humility and grace.
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others. Philippians 2:1 – 4
