The Evangelical Association of the Caribbean (EAC) has six commissions and two Initiatives working together to maximize their impact on the national communities.
Commissions
Commission on Evangelism and Missions (COEM)
The COEM has responsibility for driving EAC’s evangelistic and missionary outreach across the Caribbean Region, working closely with selected NEA’s to (a) Implement EAC’s vision for preparing and commissioning Caribbean Missionaries; (b) Execute National Crusades across the Region in partnership with NEA’s; and (c) Help drive EAC’s outreach to the next generation.
Commission on Relief and Development (CONRAD)
The EAC’s Commission on Relief and Development (CONRAD) enables NEAs and local churches to respond rapidly and effectively to disasters and to develop holistic, transformational ministry.

Creation Care Task Force
Provides an opportunity for members to respond faithfully to the climate crisis and other ecological crises, in diverse ways, which is itself profoundly fitting in relation to this crisis. This task force will work with evangelicals and especially evangelical leaders to formulate a plan for the EAC response; initiate activities aimed at increasing awareness and action of the climate crisis. It will present practical ways to encourage ecologically faithful living; explore how climate crisis is affecting Caribbean nations; encourage the development of biblical and theological capacity relevant to the climate crisis; and develop a strategic plan for EAC that includes practical, short– term projects and midterm and longer–term commitments.
