The organization is open to professional scholars with associate membership available to laypersons and students. Since 2006 Paul Copan has been the president of the organization.

Philosophia Christi is the journal associated with the organization. The journal contains discussions about a variety of topics related to the philosophy of evangelical religion and theology. Recent issues discuss postmodernism, the metaphysics of good and evil, and the nature of selfhood and consciousness from an evangelical philosophical point of view. Other recent contributions discuss the idea of intelligent design. A special intelligent design issue, "Philosophical Issues in Intelligent Design," contains original contributions by William Dembski, Jay Richards, Timothy and Lydia McGrew, Robin Collins, Charles Taliaferro, Alexander Pruss.
