The European Evangelical
Alliance brings together both the national
Evangelical Alliances of Europe and a large
number of pan-European mission agencies.
It has existed as a regional group since
the 1950's, but traces its roots to the
1846 conference at which the World Evangelical
Alliance (WEA) was established. It is the
European section of the WEA. EEA serves
as a meeting place, a platform for common
action, and a voice for Europe's Evangelicals.
The EEA's common desire is to serve the
region by making Christ known and extending
His kingdom
both nationally and internationally. We
aim to think globally and act locally,
nationally
and regionally. Our goal is to help one
another to be contemporary Christian
communities
which both transform and redeem our
wider communities.
The
EEA encourages national Alliances to serve
one another, and seeks to
develop national
Evangelical Alliances where they do not
yet exist. The EEA is active in areas
where working
together makes us stronger across the
continent as a whole:
• The EEA
Brussels office represents 15 million
European evangelicals from 35 countries
to the European Union.
• The EEA Youth Network equips
a growing number of national youth networks.
• The EEA Socio-Political arm
helps national Evangelical Alliances
to develop their
social, advocacy, and religious
liberty ministries.
• The EEA
is in close partnership with the
European Evangelical Missionary Alliance
(EEMA) and also plays an important role
in "Hope for Europe," a series
of co-operative activities based on areas
of common vision (Culture, Values and Politics;
Women in Leadership; Church planting, and
many others).
