evangelical

Zealously spreading belief

Evangelical describes Christians who emphasize personal conversion, biblical authority, and spreading the faith.

An evangelical church prioritizes these commitments.

The word often appears in political contexts, where evangelicals form a significant voting bloc in the United States: Evangelical voters supported the candidate.

More broadly, evangelical describes zealous advocacy for any cause: She's evangelical about veganism.
