I love the city of Portland.

It would be impossible for me to estimate how many times I’ve said that sentence over the last decade and a half of living in the Rose City.

There’s so much to recommend it, but I honestly think one of the things I love so much are the people. At times a bit eccentric, but almost always kind and polite, they are concerned about each other and the world. If you believe in community, in caring for the environment, in taking care of others, especially those on the margins, then Portland is for you.

And interestingly enough, those are also very same reasons I love Jesus.

Ash Wednesday Gathering

 Let's start off the Lent season together Wednesday, Feb 17th, 6:00pm @ Burlingame.

We'll have an hour gathering with worship and contemplation as well as "the imposition of Ashes"... something that has become a meaningful part of our rhythms.
If you've never been to an Ash Wednesday gathering, I think you'll find this a moving time to contemplate our mortality, our priorities and the things we are tied to.

Older kids will do just fine in this gathering as it will include music, moving around and not too much sermonizing.

Our Core Commitments

Rather than view ourselves as a provider of religious goods and servics, we choose to see this as a covenant community- a group of people choosing to lean in with each other and to God, journeying together. In addition to our core values, we've identified some commitments that serve as some of the guiding commitments of this covenant community.


Core Commitments:  

on Life in the Way of Jesus- Evergreen is a distinctly Christian community, and though one does not need to be committed to Christ to participate in it, this community as a whole is committed to seeking God through the person of Jesus. For those who are following Jesus, this means commitment to living life in the way of Jesus, and to introducing others whenever possible through word and deed to the person of Jesus. We commit to time spent listening to God individually and as a community and to living out life in the way of Jesus for the glory of God, and the good of the city of Portland.

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.
