We are pleased to serve God through a host of care ministries available to members and regular attenders at Evergreen.

Counseling

Biblical counseling and referrals to Christian counseling professionals in our area are available to ECF members and attenders through our ministry of pastoral care. We purpose to provide encouragement, guidance and support through the counsel of God’s Word as our people deal with crises and issues in their experience of life.

Hospital Visitation

If an ECFer or a member of their immediate family faces surgery or hospitalization, we like to know about it so that we might be there for them in an effort to bring comfort and encouragement.

Prayer Team

Each week a prayer letter is published and distributed to ECF elders, staff and other Prayer Team members. If a worshipper has a prayer request they would like us to know about that we might pray with them and for them, they are invited to note it on their Welcome Card on Sunday morning. Their request is then passed along through the prayer letter.

Prayer Chain

This ministry is primarily for use at times of crisis or emergency. If such arises, ECF members and attenders are urged to call our offices with their prayer concern, and our prayer chain will be activated immediately.

Meals of Mercy

Meals of Mercy is a ministry of compassion to those in the ECF family who due to a challenging or crisis life circumstance are unable to prepare meals for themselves or their family for a short period of time.

Family Crisis Care

This ministry of care exists to extend a helping hand of comfort and support to Evergreen families facing crisis through the provision of basic household services and childcare.

e.care

e.care seeks to serve and support members of the Evergreen family as they encounter hardship, crisis, trial, burdens of concern or significant life passages through written notes of comfort and encouragement.

Aid and Assistance

From time to time there are folks at Evergreen who due to unexpected circumstance find themselves facing financial hardship. This ministry extends a helping hand by facilitating needed financial assistance and providing appropriate financial counsel in an effort to bring short-term relief and long-term recovery.

Absentee Follow-up

The ministry of absentee follow-up exists to facilitate communication, demonstrate concern and assess personal and family needs with members and attenders of Evergreen who have been absent from worship services.

Pre-Marital Preparation

There is no more important time of life for a man and woman than the season of preparation for entering into the marriage relationship. Through our ministry of pastoral care we are pleased to offer pre-marital counseling to couples, as well as to assist in the planning and conduct of the wedding service.

Bereavement

The loss of a loved one is also a most significant and tender time in the life experience of an individual or family. Evergreen’s ministry of pastoral care stands ready to offer support and hope in the season of loss through grief counseling as needed and assistance in the planning and conduct of the funeral or memorial service.
