Each gathering typically features a special guest—whether it’s an inspiring speaker who shares from God’s Word or a talented musician who lifts our spirits through song. Following the program, we come together for a potluck lunch, where everyone brings a dish to share. Evergreen is a welcoming space to be refreshed in fellowship, faith, and friendship.
Come join us—there’s always room at the table.
Evergreen isn't just about gathering—it's about going! Our senior adults love taking fun day trips to places like bowling alleys, the Dogwood Trail, Muddy Pond, and Briarwood Ranch Safari Park. Every outing is filled with fellowship, laughter, and of course, a delicious lunch together afterward.
Whether we’re exploring nature or trying something new, Evergreen road trips are all about sharing life, making memories, and enjoying the journey—together.
