Home Communities

 

Are you looking to connect with people at a more intimate level than is possible on Sunday morning?  Sundays can be a tough context in which to have consistently meaningful conversations and truly get to know other people.  But if you are looking to get to know people, to build community, to give and receive encouragement, prayer, discussion, etc. then you may want to consider participating in a home group this fall.  While we don’t expect everyone will be a part of a home community and we know that some already find community during the men’s group at the Lompoc or Women & Wine; if this is a season you have decided to commit to a home community, here’s some help in getting connected to one or in starting your own.

Theology Pubs

 



Our Theology Pubs are designed to help Evergreen people (and really anyone who wants to come) learn in an open environment. These are content-based facilitated discussions, generally on a specific topic with specific reading material (but occasionally more "open" and less agenda-driven. We have these discussions in pub spaces mainly because we value presence as a community in public spaces.

The Lost Practice of Forbearance

Let’s be honest, there are some people who just rub us the wrong way.  What they say bothers us, the way they say it annoys us, and sometimes just their presence bugs us.  None of those things sound very “nice” but it’s just the way it is.  Who knows, I could very well be that person to you.  We are a diverse group of people with different stories and backgrounds and we will simply never all be best friends and “click” like you do with certain people. 

The problem isn’t the fact that we all don’t have intimate relationships, after all, there’s nothing healthy about having an intimate relationship with every single person in the community.  That’s called dysfunction.  But the problem lies in the times where our differences or the way we rub on each other gets blown up and conflict breaks out.

welcome

Welcome to evergreen... we try hard to make the heart of this community be relationship. Our relationships with one another and our relationship with God. We invite everyone, regardless of where they might be at spiritually to come and be a part of evergreen, seek God with us, and see if this life of following Jesus isn't for them as well. No promises of an easy road... just people to walk it with you.
