Evergreen Community Forum

Welcome to the forum page at Evergreen-umc.org. We hope that this page will serve as a helpful instrument that fosters a safe and open atmosphere for community dialog. This forum page grew from the Leadership Team’s desire to expand conversations beyond Leadership Team meetings in hopes to include all of Evergreen’s community in ongoing discussions related to Evergreen’s mission and vision. Although we hope that this would be an open conversation, there are a few parameters that we would like to establish. The first is that this conversation is for those who know and are known within Evergreen’s community. You do not have to be a member to comment; rather, we ask that you are a participant in Evergreen’s community, but this is not limited to worship on Sunday. If you are involved in any one of Evergreen’s ministries or have come to any of our community meetings, please know that you are welcome to participate, but all must have their first comment approved. The other parameter seems obvious but it must be said nonetheless, this website is publicly accessible. Thus, please refrain from disclosing any personal information about yourself that you would not like the entire World Wide Web to see and please do not disclose information about others as well. Thanks for joining our dialog and we are glad you are here.
