THE EVERGREEN FAMILY:
Evergreen Presbyterian Church (PCA) is a church that is dedicated to serving God by loving those we meet; helping them grow in knowing God, loving others, and using their gifts; and sending them out into the world to serve their homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools. Love. Nurture. Send. You can read a summary of our beliefs in the historic confession of the Presbyterian Church, The Westminster Confession of Faith.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
Each member of the Evergreen family, rooted and grounded in the love of God in Jesus Christ, will seek to love and welcome all whom God brings our way; nurture them in the truths of the Gospel, practical wisdom, and use of their gifts; and send them out to love their families, neighborhoods, and communities, joining what God is already doing in bringing redemption and restoration to the Sevier County area and beyond. Love. Nurture. Send.
WHAT WE BELIEVE:
PCA Statement of Faith (Presbyterian Church in America)
We believe the Bible is the written word of God,
inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts.
The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God,
who exists eternally in three persons:
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves
from God’s displeasure, except by His mercy.
We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save.
We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God,
who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins
of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.
We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals
but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s people
and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly,
to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.
We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
