Alliance Engagement

Strengthening Alliances,
Building the Church Worldwide

We strengthen Evangelical Alliances where they exist, and help establish new ones where they don't — equipping churches and leaders to become a visible, viable, vital force for the Gospel.

The purpose of the Alliance Engagement Department

The purpose of the Alliance Engagement Department is to:

  1. Build up the health of regional and national evangelical alliances through coaching, consulting, training, peer-learning; curated resources and support utilizing the 7DI tool as a guide.
  2. Equip regional and national evangelical alliances to create their own regional and national “institutes of leadership” to train their leaders and serve their members.
  3. Connect WEA structures to regional and national alliances to create their own regional and national topical commissions, initiatives and advocacy efforts to serve their members.
  4. Create partnerships with global entities for mutual benefit including the distribution of relief, development, funding, and resources through alliances to their members.
  5. Foster communication, trust, goodwill, and vision and values alignment between regional and national alliances and the WEA and work with regional alliances to start new national alliances.

Building and Strengthening Evangelical Alliances

The Alliance Engagement Department (AED) works alongside nine Regional Evangelical Alliances to strengthen existing Evangelical Alliances and establish new Alliances in places they do not yet exist. The AED, accordingly, equips and establishes alliances to be visible, viable and vital entities that impact the nations with the Kingdom of God.

Mission: The AED exists to serve the member Alliances of the WEA through liaison, communication, resourcing and collaboration with other departments, ministries and services of the World Evangelical Alliance.

Vision: The AED envisions a culture within the WEA where member Alliances:

  • Have a tangible commitment to unity across the body of Christ;
  • Articulate an influential voice for justice and the kingdom of God in their context;
  • Are renowned for their service toward churches and ministries in their nation;
  • Have a sense of vision and strategic purpose for what God is calling them to;
  • Operate with a committed leadership team and a strategy for next generation leaders;
  • Are financially and operationally sustainable within their cultural context;
  • Express meaningful partnership and contribution with other members of the WEA.
