Relax.
Make yourself at home. Grab a cup of coffee, with a flavored creamer if you like. Now, sit down and get comfortable. We want to tell you a little about ourselves.
The sign at the street should really read, "The meeting place of Evergreen Community Church." Why? Well, the building really is not the church, it's just the place where we gather. We are the church, young and old together. Young marrieds, grandparents, babies (we love babies!). It's one big "God-brought-us-together" family! And while our backgrounds are filled with many different stories, we find our common bond in one place: the Lord Jesus Christ. He is what we're all about. First. Foremost.
About us
Our goal/objective is not to build more buildings. Or to draw in bodies just so we can tally up the numbers. Or to have the "cool place to worship". That's been done (by others). We want to 'grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ' (1 Peter 3:18). We want to know His grace. More. We want to know His Word. Better. We want to know Him. Greater. That's why we really strive to keep things genuine. We pray God would guard us against spiritual performances and tired routines. That's why our emphasis is on people rather than programs. And on families rather than facilities. We want you at home with your kids not feeling obligated to "be at church" throughout the week. Or, get to know your neighbors be the church on your block! And when you are with us, feel totally free to keep your children with you. We really believe it is spiritually healthy for the family to worship together. That's why we don't parcel out age groups.
"For you are all one in Christ" (Gal. 3:28).
So bring the kids in. The nursery worker was "laid off" years ago. We still have the rooms, with toys and books (if you need them) but we won't ask you to go there. Jesus welcomed the little ones, why shouldn't we?! After all, He's the Authority. And He's what we want to be about
So, what do you think? We can't offer you a long list of programs for every age. Or a huge, polished worship band and orchestra. Or a Christian Starbucks in the foyer. But we can offer you regular grind in a Styrofoam cup. And an ordinary group of people touched by God's grace. Transformed by the life of Jesus. Empowered by His Spirit and nourished by the Supreme Word of God. Genuine people. Real families.
An extraordinary Savior.
This is who we are.
Doctrine
We are an independent non-denominational community Bible church. Our leadership is affiliated with Village Missions, an evangelical missionary fellowship. We believe in the inspiration , sufficiency and absolute authority of God's Word, the Bible (2 Tim. 3:16-17). We believe Jesus Christ is the only hope for all people and that salvation is only found in a true, "born again" saving relationship with Him (Eph. 2:1-9).
