Evergreen Christian Fellowship was established in 1989 as a daughter
church of Overlake Christian Church now of Redmond. On a snowy January day, Evergreen's
first public worship service was held in the building of the Seventh
Day Adventist Church in downtown Issaquah. Early and rapid growth
prompted multiple services and a relocation to Meadow Creek Professional
Office Park at the foot of the Sammamish Plateau that same year.
On the occasion of Evergreen's first anniversary, Overlake Christian
released this new ministry to fly on its own financially and under
the leadership of its own board of elders. The young church continued
to experience growth while adding to its programs and staff, establishing
itself as a dynamic and flourishing congregation of believers in
the Issaquah area. In 1996 Evergreen moved its Sunday services onto
the Plateau, where we continue today in ministry at Beaver Lake
Middle School, while maintaining office and mid-week meeting space
at Cascade Business Park in Issaquah.
Evergreen Christian Fellowship is an unaffiliated, non-denominational
church. Average Sunday morning attendance is 650, including children
and youth. We are a family-oriented church, with approximately 85%
of our adult congregation within the 30-50 age range. While the
people of Evergreen come from all corners of the greater Issaquah
area, the major portion are residents of the Sammamish Plateau.

We believe that there is one true and holy God, who is eternally
existent and manifests Himself in three persons: God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that
He came to earth in the form of man, that He died on the cross to
save man from the just penalty of his sin and that He rose from
the grave to confirm the gift of eternal life to all who accept
His sacrifice.
We believe that man is sinful and, therefore, separated
from God, but that his sin is forgiven and a personal relationship
with God established through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ
as Savior.
We believe that upon acceptance of Christ as Savior and
surrender to Him as Lord, the Holy Spirit dwells within the believer
to grant assurance of eternal life, to serve as Counselor and Guide
and to provide the gifts with which to serve, as well as the power
by which to live a transformed life.
We believe that the Church is the body of people who love
and follow Jesus Christ, that every believer is called to active
membership in a local church and that the mission of the Church
is to glorify God, to proclaim the good news of Christ and to equip
believers to live and serve as His disciples.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word
of God, and that it is our absolute authority in all matters of
doctrine and Christian living.
We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again to reign as
King of Kings and to gather His people, the Church, to be with Him
for eternity.
We gather every Sunday morning at 8:45 and 10:30 A.M. (See Calendar
for summer and special service times.)
