Overview
The Evangelical Alliance has over 3500 church members. Several well known Christian organisations are also members of the Alliance, for example Tearfund, Hope 08, Alpha, Fusion and Serving In Mission (SIM).
The Alliance speaks on behalf of its members and represents evangelical concerns to Government, the National Assemblies, the media and key decision-makers. In resourcing its members and encouraging Christians to fully engage in their communities as responsible citizens, the Alliance strives to make evangelical truths publicly accessible. For example, the Evangelical Alliance played a leading role in the opposition to certain sections of the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006.
The General Director of the Alliance is Steve Clifford, replacing Joel Edwards in April 2009. Krish Kandiah is Director of Churches in Mission, whilst Dave Landrum was appointed as Director of Advocacy in March 2011. Peter Lynas directs Northern Ireland, Fred Drummond, Scotland, and Elfed Godding, Wales.
