An emphasis has been placed on helping to strengthen and develop national Evangelcal Alliances, especially those founded in recent decades.

The 1990s were a decade of fundamental change, not only in European society but also for the EEA. One expression of this change was the growth in membership.

Strengthening unity and cooperation amongst evangelicals was at the forefront of EEA programmes during the 1970s, along with a continuing emphasis on evangelism.

One recurring theme at EEA events was the authority of Scripture. Especially during the 1960s, the battle against modern theology attracted considerable attention, leading finally to a declaration in 1965.
