Is a community of believers ruled by God, we confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. With prayer and faith we worship God through Christ. God's only begotten Son and the Holy Spirit as our guide in all we say and do.

Our church seeks to follow the teachings and examples of our Lord by reaching out to the spiritual, social and physical needs of our members, the community and the world.

• The Scriptures serve as our primary source of authority

• We believe in a personal conversion experience, unique to each individual

• We respond to God's call to mission and discipleship in Christ though church growth and service

• We act responsibly toward God's resources in our personal lives, in the church and in the world

A place apart from the pain but still in touch. When you need to "recharge" your life, escape from the ugliness of life or find a better place to be than church.

Evans is a good church for anyone looking to find the Way. We are all seekers, looking for the path to God's Kingdom. At Evans you will find that many of the seekers are also disciples, students of the risen Christ who attempt to follow the teachings and ministry of Jesus. We are not perfect but we are seeking a perfect relationship with our lord and Savior.

We appreciate your visit.

You can be a "visitor" as long as you want. We'll just be pleased to have you among us, feeling comfortable and happy to be here.

Our people are warm and caring, welcoming friends old and new. We are an established church with almost fifty years of service to the community.
