Congregational Care and Fellowship
The Congregational Care & Fellowship Ministry team seeks to create opportunities for fellowship and expressions of care and connectedness among our church family. We coordinate monthly church-wide, after-service lunches on the First Sunday of the month. Our team also attends to congregational care by providing meals, visits, and phone calls through our Care Shepherd efforts. Be it a celebration of a birth or marriage, a sadness due to death, diagnosis, or change in family or work life, an illness that leads to prolonged treatments or recovery, or a church-wide gathering that helps us learn more about each other, the Ministry team is working to knit together our hearts in Christian love.

Care Shepherds
Evergreen's Care Shepherds are a group of trained individuals for the shut-ins and those in pain or dealing with family stresses. Please contact the church office at 334-792-7898 if you know of someone who needs a smiling face or words of encouragement. If the Holy Spirit has been knocking on your door to be the sunshine in someone's life, please open it and let God in to help you help others!

caring for our city
Evergreen Food Pantry
Our in-house food pantry serves approximately 50-60 families each week. This translates into about 5000 bags of groceries annually, shared with those in need. Each family receives 2 full bags of groceries, bakery items, cereal, fruits and vegetables when available and we’ve recently added frozen meat. Families may return every 4 weeks to receive food and they are always grateful for the goods they receive. Some of the clients we serve now volunteer to help pass out food on Wednesdays.
We invite anyone to come and take a tour of the food pantry, located behind the community room, or just show up on Wednesday morning about 8:45 to help pass out food. Canned items are always needed to replenish our supplies. Monetary donations are appreciated and go a long way toward meeting this critical need.

Financial Assistance
Evergreen offers financial assistance needs toward living expenses. Call the office Wednesdays at 8:30am to set up an appointment.
