@ EVERGREEN CHURCH

Welcome to 2020, your best decade yet! 

PROMISE

January 2010, the future for Evergreen Church felt as bleak as the gloomy news from The Great Recession. A Bible promise brought hope.

Isaiah 35:2-3

HEALTH

In 2011 we studied God’s plan in the Bible for his church

We became an elder-governed, pastor-led, volunteer-driven church.

Evergreen’s SOURCE magazine casts the vision of
Jesus changing lives through you.

We see Evergreen as a SOURCE church to 
EVANGELIZE the nations, 
REVITALIZE the church, and to 
TRANSFORM society. 

Pastors and partners inspire us.

That’s 1/2 giving strength.

That’s 1/2 the personal presence.

What if Jesus were half committed to your salvation?

SCRATCH THAT THOUGHT

START OVER

What if you picked up Evergreen Church like Jesus carried his cross?


Amazement Unstoppable 1920x1080.jpg

UNSTOPPABLE
PRAYER

Let’s launch 30 PRAYER HUDDLES, praying one hour per day of every month in The Foundry prayer room. Our prayer is for HEAVEN to come down to Bothell and for Evergreen people to CHANGE millions of lives for Jesus.


UNSTOPPABLE
WORSHIP

Let’s become a platform of WORSHIP AWAKENING to JESUS  in the Pacific Northwest. Let’s raise up so many musicians, singers, and songs that we can send them out to more Evergreen locations and to other churches.


UNSTOPPABLE
COMPASSION

Let’s send Evergreen people to the VULNERABLE in Bothell by lifting up CityLift, our nonprofit for doing good. CityLift will be the focus of our Christmas giving to love Bothell. (CityLift started to serve first responders in Bothell and will expand to touch more needs in our city.) 


UNSTOPPABLE
ALPHA

Let’s make the eastside ALPHA AWARE with magnetic Alpha parties, a third Alpha location, plus Alpha at the Monroe Prison.


UNSTOPPABLE
FAMILIES

Question: How many weeks do our parents have left to influence their kids? Let’s answer that question by equipping Evergreen dads and moms to raise KIDS WHO MAKE A DIFFERENCE for generations. This year we will launch college-accredited training for kids workers, plus we will roll out Alpha Marriage, Pre-marriage, and Dating courses.


UNSTOPPABLE
LOCATIONS

Let’s launch a third service on MAIN STREET, with the Evergreen recipe: pairs of leaders, prayer meetings, pre-evangelism, food, Alpha, worship, video, equipping leaders, and building teams to pastor the city. 


UNSTOPPABLE
ACCESS

Let Evergreen create VIDEO APPEAL  to people who would never think of walking into a church building. We want busy people to experience the same Evergreen community on campus and online. We will produce our first translated talks in languages like Hebrew, Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Arabic, and Persian. 


UNSTOPPABLE
HUDDLES

Let’s amass a SQUADRON OF HUDDLES all year long to serve our city at Christmas Lights. (Huddles are friends who journal together, help together at outreach events all year long. In December, they assemble as a volunteer army for Christmas outreach.)


UNSTOPPABLE
FREEDOM

Let’s OWN OUR CHURCH, land, and buildings, free and clear, so we can see ahead into how God will have us build and help people next. This will happen as we get a vision of our generous God the honor to be included in giving.


UNSTOPPABLE
HEROMAKERS

May God fulfill the vision of our house through HEROMAKERS, we will raise up just like Jesus modeled and commanded. Great leaders are busy, so we will make on-demand video and tech-friendly meeting spaces to inspire them. We will launch “The Dream Course” and the PeopleMagnet.School.
