Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals
- Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals
The Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals is an organization of individuals that believes Evangelicals have largely forgotten the foundations of the Christian Gospel and is dedicated to calling on the Protestant churches, especially those that call themselves Reformed, to return to the principles of the Protestant Reformation. To that end, they produce print and internet resources, broadcast radio programs ("The Bible Study Hour", "Every Last Word", and "Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible") and hold conferences (Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology, Princeton regional Conference on Reformed Theology, Reformation Societies) aimed at educating different segments of the Christian population.
The Alliance was formed in 1994, out of what was known as Evangelical Ministries, when the late James Boice, then senior pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia and teacher on "The Bible Study Hour" radio program, called together a group of like-minded pastors and theologians from a variety of denominations to unite in a common cause to help revive a passion "for the truth of the Gospel" within the church.

On April 17-April 20, 1996, the Alliance came together in Cambridge, Massachusetts to draw up a statement that would be called the Cambridge Declaration.
