A force to transform your life today –
not just in the afterlife

The Evangelical
Alliance (EA) describes itself as a 'movement for change'.
Its goal is bringing the messages of the Christian Bible to a
society that increasingly sees them as irrelevant.
Like the popular Alpha movement, the EA sees Christianity as
a force to transform your life today, not just in the afterlife.
That can include even the most carnal of pleasures. One of the
EA's most popular prayers asks God to increase your sexual appetite!
The EA has interesting methods to go with its interesting prayers.
The 'scattered church' approach emphasises meeting in small groups,
away from fixed churches. This style, the EA believes, is gaining
momentum, as people turn backrooms in their workplaces and houses
into temporary local churches. In fact, the model has worked so
well that even established denominations are starting to turn
to it.
Citing a rise in family breakdowns, single-parent families and
people living and having children together outside marriage, the
EA sees its message as absolutely critical to today's society.
