This allows time to contact and hear back from the referees listed on your application form, to process your completed Direct Debit form, and to receive final confirmation from the membership committee. You can read more about the process for churches here and the process for organisations here.

Our church plant membership is the best option for churches that have been established for less than two years and planted from an established Evangelical Alliance member church. You can find out more about our church plant membership here.

We love to visit our member churches and organisations. Read more and request a speaker here.

We have recently moved to a new system and, due to the way we record our data, can only address our emails to individual contacts within a joint membership.

If you have a joint membership and wish to receive regular emails from us, you will both need to sign up for emails here using different email addresses.

We are open to hearing and responding to complaints about the Evangelical Alliance, as well as our member churches and organisations. It is worth noting, however, that we do not have regulatory powers over our members nor the legal authority to investigate our members.

If you have a complaint, please email [email protected] and we will direct your concern onto our complaints and/or safeguarding leads.

If you are already a member church but have several sites, we’d be grateful if you could get in touch to ensure that we hold the most up-to-date details for your church and can add all your sites to our ‘Find a Church’ tool.

If your church or organisation’s membership has lapsed within a certain amount of time, we can most likely just re-activate your membership.
