Gatherings

Missional Communities

Missional Communities (MCs) are the primary weekly gatherings of Evergreen. They are an extended family of disciples and seekers sharing life together, supporting one another as everyday missionaries while seeking the Kingdom of God and extending Jesus’ love to their city. Kids are welcome at all MCs! We currently have four MCs: Ann Arbor, Brighton, Milan, and Ypsilanti!

• Each MC starts with a potluck meal and time to catch up and talk. During the meal, facilitators lead through a selection of questions and everyone is encouraged to share stories of how they have seen God working in their lives over the last week. As people share their experiences, hearts, joys, and burdens with the group, we give thanks, encourage, and pray for each person as the Holy Spirit leads. Children are welcome and encouraged to participate in answering questions and sharing about their experiences as well!

• Following the meal, MC leaders will be prepared with a time of worship, a short teaching, a discussion, a book study, or whatever else the MC has decided to engage in, and everyone is encouraged to “bring and share” as they are moved by the Holy Spirit. We conclude each gathering with the eucharist (communion) and sending out to live as everyday missionaries where we live, work, learn, and play.

All Community Gatherings

All of the Evergreen Missional Communities gather quarterly (every 5th Sunday) to celebrate God’s action in our lives, contemplate the mystery of faith, seek the presence of the Lord as a corporate community, and be equipped for mission through teaching, singing, prayer, and testimonies. This first half of the gathering lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes, followed by a potluck community meal for intentional conversations and encouraging one another in love and good deeds for 45-60 minutes.

Pinecones Children Ministry

Our children’s ministry program is available during ACG service! Parents sign in their children before service starts. Kids will start with parents in the sanctuary for music, and will be dismissed with their teachers to a classroom. Parents will pick up their kids before communion starts to join the end of the service.

Grove Gatherings

Once a month (every 4th Sunday), all Evergreen MCs gather to be formed, equipped, and catalyzed together according to each geographic area’s needs. Currently all 4 MCs gather together, but as MCs multiply we will begin holding different Grove gatherings in each city.
