WOMEN
We are passionate that every woman knows Christ and commits to pursuing a mature faith that loves God and others.
This will happen as we:
Build a steadfast faith through prayer and Bible study
Create transformative friendships that offer grace, comfort, and accountability
Gain courage for the call God has created us to accomplish
Share the Greatest Story from Creation to eternity–centering on the gospel of Jesus Christ–with others.
We hope church is like the best home—a place where family and friends gather, and no one leaves a stranger.
Together, we will find a place of belonging and becoming at First Evan as we seek to know Christ and make Him known.
Get started by connecting with us or making plans to join us at any of the events below.
