Welcome

We are passionate that every woman finds a place of belonging and becoming at First Evan as we seek to know Christ and make Him known. This will happen as we: 

• Build a steadfast faith through prayer and Bible study

• Create transformative friendships that offer grace, comfort, and accountability

• Uncover and develop the dream and purpose that God has created each of us to accomplish 

We hope church is also home—a place where family and friends gather, and no one leaves a stranger. And make plans now to join us at any of the events below. We look forward to meeting you. Please contact us at any time for prayer, questions, or just to chat.

Stories of God's Faithfulness 

Within God’s amazing eternal story are the stories of each of His children.  Every saint has a story of both faithfulness and failure. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that “we are His workmanship (“poema” in Greek), created in Christ Jesus for good works, prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”  All our stories include seasons of blessing, trial, struggle, and suffering.  Hearing testimony of God’s faithfulness in the lives of other women can be a huge encouragement, helping us to trust, obey and honor God in our own journey.  It also provides great opportunity for connection with other women.  In sharing our stories, we encourage each other to faithfully run with endurance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith! No reservations required.
