Evergreen Mennonite Church welcomes and affirms the belonging of LGBTQIA+ folk in the life and work of our congregation, believing that everyone is a beloved child of God and that we are called by Jesus to be a community that embodies this divine love and embraces all of God’s children.
Singing and Scripture
These two elements are central to our church – in worship, in life, in good times and bad. “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:15a,16
Community
We are a family church – we are full of individual families, and are a large Family with many extended members. We love being together, and have monthly potlucks and regular events that allow us to fellowship and support one another.
Service and Ministry
We love to serve – disaster services, volunteering in local and international ministry, and even on the job. Service is a large part of what we believe in and support, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Peacemaking
Our denominational logo is the symbolic bird of peace, the dove, carrying the olive branch signifying our hope and work for a peaceful world. “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
