The National Council of French Evangelicals (, CNEF) is a national evangelical alliance in France and member of the World Evangelical Alliance.
History The CNEF's roots can be traced back to the 16th-century Reformation and subsequent Revival movements. However, its immediate precursor was a crucial meeting in June 2001 at the Nogent Bible Institute, organized by the French Evangelical Alliance (founded in 1846) and the French Evangelical Federation (founded in 1969). National Council of French Evangelicals was founded in June 2010. Catherine Coroller, Les évangéliques font chapelle à part, liberation.fr, France, June 15, 2010
