Category:Evangelical parachurch organisations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many organizations set up in the last few centuries by evangelical Christians are interdenominational and are sometimes called parachurch organisations

Roles undertaken by parachurch organizations include larger more national or international movements:

• cross-cultural missionary societies
• Evangelistic crusade associations (patterned after the Billy Graham Association)
• Evangelistic and discipleship ministries (such as The Navigators, and Campus Crusade for Christ)
• Music and print publishers, radio and television stations, film studios, online ministries
• Study centers and institutes, schools, colleges and universities
• Political and social activist groups

And smaller, more localized movements:

• Welfare and social services, including homeless shelters, child care, and domestic violence, disaster relief programs, food pantries and clothing closets, and emergency aid centers (such as the City Missions)
• Self-help groups
• Bible study groups
• House churches
