Quick Summary

The Evangelical Missionary Alliance was established in 1958 to foster fellowship and cooperation in evangelical missionary work overseas. It emerged from the broader Evangelical Alliance, a British association of Christian churches, societies, and individuals founded in 1846. The Evangelical Alliance aimed to unite Protestant churches against perceived Catholic influence and to uphold religious liberty and evangelical activities globally.1

The Evangelical Missionary Alliance is a component of the larger evangelical movement, which includes organizations like the National Association of Evangelicals in the United States and the World Evangelical Alliance. These groups share a common doctrinal basis centered on biblical inspiration and fundamental Christian doctrines.23
